Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) students had the opportunity to complete their summer co-op placements with EllisDon through the Trades by Design program.

The program provides students with valuable, hands on experience in the skilled trades and construction industry, while allowing them to explore career pathways and gain real world workplace skills.

Throughout the summer, students worked alongside Field Coordinators and Senior Field Coordinators, building connections, taking on new challenges and developing practical skills through real world experience.

We are proud of the experiences our students gained and grateful to EllisDon for helping create meaningful opportunities for the next generation of skilled trades professionals!
