Alumni and parents visit Greenwood for Careers Morning
Students in Grades 9 -12 recently had the opportunity to hear from alumni, parents/guardians and Greenwood staff at Careers Morning.
Speakers represented a variety of fields, including architecture, engineering, health sciences, banking, design and more.
Careers Morning is held annually near the beginning of the course selection period to provide Greenwood students with the opportunity to think about their options for possible work and life destinations. Speakers are invited to share their personal journey to help students consider the many possible roads that people travel on throughout their careers.
“Careers Morning provides an invaluable opportunity for our students – hearing from the Greenwood community about different jobs and industries, various educational options, and the unique paths that people take in their career provides context and inspiration as students look to their own future after high school,” said Wendy Herod, Director of Student Success. “It’s our hope that Careers Days helps students consider the skills or experience needed for different occupations or postsecondary options, and inspires them to stay curious about the possibilities available to them.”
A huge thank you to the alumni and parents/guardians who joined us on Careers Morning.
If you are a Greenwood alumni or parent / guardian (past or present) who may be interested in future Careers Days or other opportunities for speaking or networking, please email communications@greenwoodcollege.com
We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
