Career Day 2026 at Brooks Secondary

Today was Career Day at Brooks Secondary!

This annual event is all about helping students see what’s possible for their future. With over 35 organizations and businesses taking part this year, students had the chance to meet local professionals, learn about a wide range of industries, and get hands-on with equipment from different fields. It was a great opportunity to discover careers they may not have considered before and see where their interests could take them. 

From health care and skilled trades to emergency services, technology, business, education, and community organizations, this year’s Career Day showcased just how many different paths are out there and how many of them connect back to our local community.

A huge thank you to the staff who organized the event, the students who showed up with curiosity, and all of the organizations and businesses who generously shared their time, knowledge, and expertise. Another successful Career Fair in the books! Watch a short highlight of the day, here.
