Congratulations and Thanks

A successful Business-Education partnership is working for students

Every year over 100 Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School students in Guelph gain career experiences thanks to amazing 6 business partners.

This partnership started at a Business-Education Partnership Breakfast hosted by the Career Education Council in 2003.

The Cooperators, TD/Canada Trust, Tim Hortons, MacKinnon Transport, Thomasfield Homes, Reid’s Heritage Homes continue to work with the school to offer job shadows, placements for student success, classroom talks, volunteer opportunities, co-op places, mentoring and sponsorships for entrepreneurship conferences, business camp and business classes. One huge success is an annual student home build.

Thank you partners. You truly make a positive difference.
