Workplace Tours
 

 

 

Workplace Tours is a service that connects employers to elementary and secondary schools in Hamilton.  It allows students to learn firsthand what life in the workplace is all about.  In addition, it provides the students with information about different sectors while they observe operations and activities at a local business.

Volunteering in this program is easy.  You specify the number of times you are interested in opening your doors to our students and we coordinate these tours with our local educators. 

To register your organization as a community workplace tour partner, please contact IEC at workplacetours@iechamilton.ca or 905.529.4483 and we will walk you through the process and customize your involvement.
