Alberta Health Services (AHS) is proud to announce our continued support of the Students Commission of Canada’s Take Our Kids to Work Day, which will be held on November 6, 2024. This year, AHS will again be welcoming kids across the province to attend either virtually or in person at our sites, where possible.
Take Our Kids to Work Day is a work experience program that allows grades 9, 10, 11 or 12 students to experience the ins and outs of a real work environment by observing a parent, guardian or AHS employee host at their place of work or by participating in our online event.
Please note: AHS infection prevention and control protocols will be followed at AHS sites.
For more information, please contact: Youth.Careers@ahs.ca
The in-person event is for students who are interested in learning more about the career of a parent, guardian or AHS employee host at AHS. Students participating in the in-person event must register via the in-person event registration form.
Participation by the student at a work site must be approved by the host’s manager. Before approving a visit from a high school student, the manager and employee host must consider the following:
The online event will be hosted over Teams and will feature speakers from different professions across AHS.
The event will run from 8:25 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., with a break for lunch.
Students can log into this event from any location, including at home or in class. Teachers also have the ability to present the event in class to any students who may not be able to find in-person hosts to shadow.
Meeting links will be emailed approximately one week prior to the event.
