IEC appreciates Volunteer Speakers

Mark Mullins, from Trillium Power Wind Corporation speaking at Saltfleet Secondary School for Grade 10 Students Career Class

Do you have a long-term plan for attracting good, young talent to your business or industry?  Create awareness and interest in your business by participating in IEC’s Speakers Bureau program. 

Coordinated locally by IEC, the Speakers Bureau service is offered by employers to elementary and secondary students in Hamilton.  It provides students exposure to jobs and occupations – experiences that can inspire career choices.  By participating in this program, you and your business can make a positive impact on the future of our community.

In less than a year of offering this new service, we have coordinated 74 speakers’ bureau presentations which reached 2,908 students!  We would like to take this opportunity to thank the below volunteers for sharing their career journey’s with our students.  We could not have achieved this success without them.
