For 30 years, Career Trek has made it its mission to empower children and youth from equity-deserving groups in Manitoba as they navigate their career journeys.

Career Trek program curriculums are strategically developed to empower young Manitobans explore their skills, aspirations and interests, helping them uncover careers paths that align with their passions and strengths.

Career Trek understands how the value of a strong support system can shape a young person’s future. We encourage parents, guardians, extended family and friends to participate in our lessons and access valuable career development resources. We believe it’s never too early to spark conversations about future careers.

As Career Trek participants embark on career paths, they begin to impact their communities in bigger ways.

• Manitoba’s industries. We inspire young people to follow their interests into specific sectors.
• Education systems. We demonstrate to young people how relevant and important their academic pursuits are.
• Post-secondary institutions. We encourage young people to pursue post-secondary and apprenticeship programs that align with their goals. We assist them with finding financial resources.
• The province. Career Trek eases the transition from school to work for students. (HOW)
• First Nations community partners. Career Trek seeks input from First Nations communities in the development of programs. Our goal is to support these communities in meeting their needs in ways that are culturally appropriate.
• Newcomer communities. Career Trek helps children and youth who are newcomers to navigate unfamiliar systems.
• Rural and remote participants and families. Career Trek introduces young people to post-secondary and training opportunities. Participants may not have otherwise experienced these possibilities. Career Trek virtual programs engage participants living in remote communities.
