Young women exploring agriculture careers at Lethbridge Polytechnic

Nov. 19, 2024 – Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute will host a hands-on career exploration session for young women in grades 7 through 9.

The Collegiate Institute is a unique partnership of six school divisions, Lethbridge Polytechnic and two non-profit organizations to give middle and high school students across southern Alberta an opportunity to explore career pathways online or on Lethbridge Polytechnic’s campus in sectors critical to the regional economy.

On Thursday, join nearly 80 students as they explore the variety of careers possible in Alberta’s agriculture sector. They’ll take in a panel discussion with women from the industry, rotating workshops about plants and animals and interactive equipment spaces, all of which provide valuable opportunities that can help students decide about their future career pathways.

Media are welcome to attend the rotating workshop seminar. Kaylee Day Chief, director of sales at AdvancedAg Inc. and a member from the panel discussion will be available to speak to media along with a representative from the Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute at 11:45 a.m. before the workshop begins at noon.

When: 11:45 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 21

Where: Agriculture Department, Room CB3034, Lethbridge Polytechnic
