The Lester B. Pearson School Board's Youth and Continuing Education Sectors are excited to launch the inaugural Doing is Believing Tour, being held on April 2 and April 3, 2019.
For the first time, all 8 LBPSB vocational centres will be opening their doors to every Secondary I student. Each centre will offer visiting students an immersive, participatory experience; highlighting specific programs (i.e. Beauty, Health, Food, Mechanics) while exposing high school students to the continuing education experience: relationships with teachers, a typical day', and the role of industry partnerships.
Doing is Believing is rooted in Lester B. Pearson School Board's Academic and Career Guidance Content (ACGC) initiative which aims to expand students' knowledge of the self, the world of school, and the world of work.
"We are happy to introduce students to the limitless options of vocational training. This unique partnership gives both students and centres the opportunity to learn from each other and is consistent with the collaboration at the heart of our board," says Mr. Thomas Rhymes, Assistant Director General.
A detailed schedule of the Doing is Believing Tour is attached. Media are invited to attend LBPSB's vocational centres. Interviewing and filming students, faculty, and students will be permitted.
