The Skilled Futures Career Showcase returns to New Glasgow today! 🎉 Students from across the region will be joining us at the Pictou County Wellness Centre for a day of hands-on career exploration in skilled trades and technology.

Thanks to our amazing hosts and all of the exhibitors! 👏

Today, we remember.

On November 11, we pause to honour the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation. We pay tribute to the veterans who continue to embody the values of duty, courage, and resilience.

Lest we forget.

Today we're at Ivany Campus for our first Abilympics Showcase event of the season. Today we'll be offering workshops in cooking, photography, job search, and floral arrangement. Plus a mini Career Showcase.
Thank you to all of the organizations and volunteers helping us today!
