About the Event
Join us for the 4th Annual Dream Career event—an exciting partnership between the Career Education Council (CEC) and the Dufferin Board of Trade (DBOT). Now in its third year of collaboration, Dream Career merges two impactful initiatives: DBOT’s Dream Dufferin Skilled Trades event and CEC’s Career Pathways Dufferin event.

Together, these programs have a proven track record of inspiring youth and connecting them with the most in-demand career fields in our region. Dream Career showcases a wide range of rewarding local career pathways—whether through skilled trades, post-secondary education, volunteering, co-operative education, or apprenticeships.

We invite you to participate in this high-profile community event as an exhibitor or as a sponsor.

Dream Career engages Grade 8 and high school students from the Upper Grand District School Board, Dufferin-Peel Catholic School Board, and local private schools, helping them explore future careers and plan their educational journey.

As an exhibitor, you’ll have the opportunity to share valuable insights, provide interactive experiences, and help students connect their interests and skills with opportunities right here in their own community.
