First Nation members are being invited to meet with several different trades employers to learn more about what is required to pursue a career in the trades industry.

The one-day information session is being hosted by SLAAMB (Sioux Lookout Area Aboriginal Management Board) and NNEC (Northern Nishnawbe Education Council).

"Introduction to Trades" will include presentations by eight Trades Unions, Canadian Armed Forces, Hydro One Networks, Wasaya Air, Advantage Electric, Confederation College and several construction firms from the area.

Anyone interested in getting on the path to a career in the trades industry is encouraged to attend this information session on Thursday, March 5, 2009 between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. at Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School in Thunder Bay.
