Alumni & friends in the trades industry: MEI continues to promote trades education by connecting students with local businesses in the Red Seal Trades and other skilled labour industries. These initiatives help highlight career opportunities, promote local businesses, and create valuable employment and networking connections for students.
Following two successful events in Spring 2024 and 2025, we are excited to plan our third MEI Trades Open House in 2027. All Grade 9–12 students will participate in this interactive afternoon event featuring display tables and booths, opportunities to meet industry sponsors, hands-on demonstrations, prize draws, merchandise, and more.
As we look ahead to future events, we invite you to join our trades directory to stay informed about upcoming announcements and opportunities.
