They got their hands dirty while studying trans- portation as they worked with small engines and changed tires. Last week's workshop was the sec- ond of its kind to be offered at St. Anne's. Martens said the event would likely occur annually, as long as funding is available. "Technology at St. Anne's contin- ues to grow in leaps and bounds, so much so that we are having trouble housing it all, but it's great and we're hoping it will continue," he said. "We've had good support from the community the last couple of years. They really seem to like this pro- gram." Participating schools included St. James of Seaforth. Jennifer Hubbard GEMENEMO Area Grade 8 students opened their eyes to the world of skilled trades last week during St. Anne's annual technology workshop. Funded by the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), the day -long workshop entitled Yours to Discover — A Skilled Career brought senior students from St. Anne's eight feeder schools to Clinton on Nov. 3. "It's done as a day to provide both parents and students with the knowledge that skilled trades and apprenticeships are good career choices," coordinator Tim Martens explained, adding skilled trades are among the top opportunities avail- able in Huron County. "These careers allow people to provide for their communities and their families." During the workshop, stu- dents rotated through four technology modules focussing on communica- tion, construc- tion, trans- portation and manufacturing.
