The Milton Education Village Innovation Centre was host to some high school students last week (Wednesday, September 18th).
Students from Bishop Reding Catholic Secondary School’s ICT Specialist High Skills Major program were invited for a specialized certification workshop.
It was run by companies in residence at the Centre.
In a statement, Manager Kevin Samra says the Centre is dedicated to fostering Milton’s community of innovative thinkers and learners.
“The MEV Innovation Centre is dedicated to fostering Milton’s community of innovative thinkers and learners,” said Kevin Samra, Manager, MEV Innovation Centre. “Our programming, tenants and collaborative workspaces support experiential learning opportunities, inviting students to acquire the relevant knowledge and working skills for a career in a technology-intensive industry.”
SHSM is a learning-focused program for high school students that provides out-of-classroom training and learning to cultivate leadership skills and work experience relating to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). As part of the program, SHSM students must complete six industry-recognized certifications.
“SHSM and its partners, like the MEV Innovation Centre, teach and motivate students towards a career in highly-skilled industries,” said Bruce Mazer, Bishop Reding’s Business & Engineering Dept. head. “Together, we are growing Milton’s culture of student innovators and supporting their transition to post-secondary education and the workplace.”
