Col. Chris Hadfield is set to speak in front a group of students from the Lambton-Kent District School Board next week in Sarnia.
The Specialist High Skills Major program provides students in Grades 11 and 12 with the opportunity to focus their secondary school studies on a particular sector of interest.
These sectors range from Agriculture to Arts and Culture and from Horticulture to Health and Wellness.
In addition to providing in-class training, the mandate of the SHSM Program is to also provide students with hands on workshops, training, and learning opportunities that will assist in preparing them for their chosen post secondary area of interest.
To address this mandate, the Lambton Kent District School Board is hosting a Specialist High Skills Major Conference.
The conference has been designed to allow students to receive sector-specific instruction from industry experts, as well as to be inspired by a keynote address.
Colonel Chris Hadfield will be providing a keynote address at the Sarnia Sports and Entertainment Centre in the morning.
