Discovery Day Set for May 27
May 11, 2021Cornwall Ontario – Interested in a career in trades and technology? If so, then plan to attend the Skills Ontario – Discovery Day on May 27.
The Discovery Day event brings together employers, students, job seekers and other community partners in virtual place to learn about the incredible career opportunities that exist in skilled trades and technologies in Cornwall and SD&G.
“The day is meant to be equal parts learning and fun,” says Dan Cardinal, Community Outreach and Engagement Coordinator with Skills Ontario. “This is different than a career fair. If you have ever had questions about trades and technology, then you need to join us for Discovery Day!”

- Explore exhibitor booths to learn about employment and educational pathways to a career in skilled trades and technologies.
- Connect and ask questions to experts 1-1 (trades people, potential employers, educational institutions, government and more).
- Attend two dedicated sessions on employment opportunities and support programs (separate sessions in English and French)
Participants will have access to an online Swag bag via email with downloadable information and resources.
