REGISTRATION OPENS 10:30 AM, SEPTEMBER 1, 2026

OPEN TO STUDENTS 13-18 YEARS OF AGE

A career in the skilled trades offers strong wages, long-term job security, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact in your community. With continued demand for housing and an aging workforce, skilled trades professionals will remain in high demand for years to come.

Join the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Central Okanagan at Okanagan College for an evening designed to introduce students and families to the many career opportunities available in the residential construction industry.

Once you register, you will find the website links to register for the STUDENT WORKSHOP and PARENT PANEL PRESENTATIONS in your confirmation email. Please ensure your email address is correct when registering. 

FOR STUDENTS ($10 TICKET FOR UP TO 3 WORKSHOPS)
Students can choose from 13 different trades and participate in up to three hands-on workshops throughout the evening. From carpentry and electrical to automotive, welding, aerospace, culinary and more, students will have the opportunity to experience different career paths firsthand.

Student registration is $10 and non-refundable. The fee is the same whether a student participates in one, two or three workshops. Workshop spaces are limited to 16 students per session and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This ticket includes a light dinner. 

FOR PARENTS (FREE)
While students are participating in workshops, parents are invited to attend industry-focused panel discussions to learn more about careers in the trades, education and training pathways, dual-credit opportunities, and what a future in the industry might look like. This ticket includes a light dinner. 

Industry Tradeshow
Students and parents can also explore our industry trade show, where local professionals will be available to share their experiences, answer questions, and provide insight into their careers.

Come explore the trades, try something new, and discover where a career in construction could take you.

Pricing

Please note: Student registration fees are non-refundable and directly support initiatives that help grow the skilled trades and connect the next generation with career opportunities in the industry.
