Want OYAP to come present at your school?

One of the ways we work towards these goals is by doing OYAP presentations and information sessions to our major stakeholders: Students (elementary and secondary), Parents, Educators, Employers and Community members.

School Presentations

  • Grade 7 & 8
  • Grade 9 Tech Rotation
  • Grade 10 Careers Class
  • Grade 11 & 12 Co-op and Senior Tech Classes
  • Parent Nights
  • Staff Meetings
  • Department meetings
  • Pathway & Student Success committees
  • Guidance Heads meetings

I also do many presentations in our community for employers and various interested community groups. Please book an OYAP presentation by emailing ron.aimola@ugdsb.on.ca. Provide me with the time, date and location or where you would like me to present. I would also appreciate if you would provide some information on the focus group that I will be presenting to and how long you would like me to speak. I will do my best to provide the most up to date and group specific information in my presentations. I also do my best to make the event a fun interactive experience. I look forward to meeting your group and providing information on the apprentice pathway.
