AMESSAGE FROM THE Chair, Board of Directors

Barb BowenChair, Board of Directors

Here we grow again! 2010-2011 has been another banner year of flux and growth for both the Board of Directors and the staff of Career Trek. First, I want to express my gratitude to my fellow Board members. We have had a busy and productive year. We all worked hard and went above and beyond to make sure that we attained some very specific goals on behalf of the organization. I am proud to be part of this great team of skilled individuals. In terms of growth on the Board of Directors, we had two talented people join us this year. Tom Glenwright retired from the Provincial Government in 2010 and joined the Career Trek Board last winter. Tom has been one of Career Trek’s biggest supporters since its inception and is a most welcome addition to the Board. He has a real understanding of some of the challenges the organization faces and has a plethora of experience and skills to help us work our way through some of the issues. Another boon was when Ron Bernard joined the Board last spring. Ron is a seasoned strategist and was able to lead the Board through a very thorough and satisfying strategic planning process. We welcome both Tom and Ron as members of our hardworking and remarkable Board of Directors. One of the strategic priorities the Board identified was to restructure the or-ganization and find an experienced individual who will help Darrell and the staff with the day to day operations and management. Ron Bernard, Bev Stuart and I volun-teered many hours to work with Darrell to screen and interview the candidates. We are very pleased to have Patricia Hamilton join the staff. Darrell’s role with Career Trek will now change and he will be able to spend more time solidifying strategic partnerships among other duties. At the Board level, we not only completed the strategic planning process to give direction to Darrell and the staff but we have approved a full set of organi-zational policies and procedures. We have been working on the policies for about 18 months and it feels great to have them completed. We are grateful to Kerniel Aasland, the consultant who worked with us to develop these policies. Another indication that 2011 was a banner year is that Career Trek finally has its own office space on the 9th floor of 191 Lombard. This is a major accom-plishment in the development of a maturing organization. The members of the staff were, as always, amazingly professional through-out this year of transition. On behalf of the Board of Directors, let me say how proud we are of all of you and your accomplishments. Bravo to you all once again! Also, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express our contin-ued gratitude to the Government of Manitoba for their ongoing support of and fund-ing for Career Trek. 2011 – 2012 promises to be another year of growth and development for Career Trek and we will continue to take “Steps in the right direction”.

Chair, Board of DirectorsA MESSAGE FROM THE Executive DirectorAnyone who knows me knows that one of my (many) flaws is that I do not normally spend much time celebrating successes. If I see a hundred tasks, do ninety-nine of them well, my focus will always be on the one that remains undone/not well done. So undertaking a writing that is supposed to celebrate fifteen years of accomplishment is actually a bit of a chore for me. But being forced to look back and honestly take the time to reflect truly does give me pause to marvel at what we have accomplished.

To look back and realize that the program started with one full-time staff person with no computer and a clutch of inexpe-rienced student staff to a program that now employs close to 200 post-secondary students (many graduates of the program) and thirteen fulltime staff is truly amazing. Our programming, which was limited to Winnipeg, is now spreading across Mani-toba and is recognized for its work across the career devel-opment world. But perhaps the most satisfying part of our fifteenth year was knowing that it was the year that we became truly independent with our move to our new offices.

All of this to say that, upon reflection, it fills me with pride to look back on our fifteenth year and all the years preceding it, to see how much we have accomplished.

That’s enough sentimentalism for me.

Lets get back to work. :)

Career Trek has taught Keisha Paul many life lessons and even prepped her for business school.

“I felt empowered. As a Campus Coordinator I was allowed to go in the direction I wanted to and saw fit for the campus. I had staff, people reported to me, I did scheduling and payroll. I had to the opportunity to have those experiences at 21 and learn how to run a business,” said Keisha.

“I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world,” said Keisha who has now completed her degree at the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba.

Keisha learned to work her way up in Career Trek. She started off as a substitute, then worked as a Group Leader, and then Campus Coordinator at The University of Winnipeg. She also worked on the infancy stages of the website and office manuals at the office.

Although Keisha was also working another part-time job during her time at Career Trek, she never felt forced to be there. “Working at Career Trek didn’t feel like work. I would be tired when I went in but then I’d have a blast. I adored those children,” said Keisha.

One of Keisha’s most memorable expe-riences was working on a pilot project, which is now the Children Rising pro-gram. She worked with families who had never been in the city before. “I’ve never seen more appreciative, respectful, humble people who were so thirsty to learn,” said Keisha.

“I appreciated the opportunity to go to university and share that with others. I met families who hadn’t had the opportunity to go to university and share an opportunity I have had with them, and then they share it with others,” said Keisha.

“I felt like a rock star.”

Keisha believes that Career Trek has the potential to not only to change people’s lives, but aspects of society. “When people are given the opportunity to do well, they will do well,” said Keisha.

“Career Trek gives people the chance to have a chance, even if they don’t have money or come from an educated family,” said Keisha.

“Career Trek gives families a network of people who do care. The fact that you care and pay attention is a big deal.”

Keisha plans to move to England to work with her aunt in business consultation.

“Working at Career Trek didn’t feel like work. I would be tired when I went in but then I’d have a blast. I adored those children.”

The Phase 1 Program is Career Trek’s core program where participants, ages 10 and 11, take part in learning about 80 career paths in 17 fields at The University of Winnipeg, University of Manitoba and Red River College. More than 240 participants are chosen from five school divisions, and have been been nominated by their schools to participate.

The Phase 2 Project is for Grade 9 students who were former participants and past graduates of our Phase 1 Program, and are given the opportunity to study a specific industry and learn from professionals at their places of work.

The ‘M’ Project assists young mothers between the ages of 14 to 19 in developing viable and long-term education and career goals as a means of creating a better life for their families. With exposure to over 80 career paths at The University of Winnipeg, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg Technical College and Red River College, these young mothers learn employment and team building skills, as well as healthy living initiatives.

The Westman Project, based out of Brandon, Manitoba provides students as young as 10 with hands-on career experiences where they take part in learning about 48 career paths in approximately 19 fields. More than 180 participants take part in this Project each year, which takes place at Brandon University, Assiniboine Community College and Manitoba Emergency Services College.

The Children Rising Program is an eight-year initiative that provides a wide range of services designed to meet the needs of the community. Based out of the Skownan First Nation, seven other Parkland communities and the Pembina Trails School Division in Winnipeg, this Program exposes students as young as 10, to 24 career paths on a yearly basis.

dance,DanceCan you bust a move?

Yvanne Dandan and Dylan Soriano sure can.

These two Career Trek veterans have sparked up a dance movement at our Phase 1 Program’s Red River College campus.

What began as an innocent competition initiated by a participant, soon grew into a dance off event every Family Day at the campus.

“These kids have the courage and guts to dance,” says Dylan. “They didn’t have to be amazing and it’s inspiring because they just did it and they enjoyed it.”

“They’re not shy and they’re able to perform in front of a whole bunch of people,” adds Yvanne. “It made us feel like we did our job in supporting the kids because they weren’t shy to go there.”

Yvanne and Dylan are seasoned dancers, both perfecting the craft at a young age. Both were also former graduates of the Phase 1 Program, Junior Staff and are now acting as staff members at our Phase 1 Program.

Dylan who’s studying at The University of Winnipeg says that being involved with Career Trek has helped him become a teacher.

“It gave me the opportunity to help kids out at such a young age,” says Dylan. “As a Junior Staff, I learned to be more responsible.”

“I was such a shy girl back in Career Trek,” says Yvanne, who’s also studying at The University of Winnipeg. “We saw how the staff worked and they were the ones that made us feel really comfortable about the program.”

“They made me feel like I didn’t have to be so shy and I wanted to be that person for the kids.”

For now, Yvanne and Dylan are both focused on completing their post-secondary studies and is helping the campus to create a potential award for best dancer at the convocation ceremony.

“These kids have the courage and guts to dance. They didn’t have to be amazing and it’s inspiring because they just did it and they enjoyed it.”

A GLIMPSE AT THE September 10, 2010 - 2010 All Charities Run, Walk, or RollCareer Trek was the lucky beneficiary of the 2010 Education All Charities Committee who held the 2010 All Charities Run, Walk, or Roll event. Hosted by HOT 103’s Ace Burpee, the event benefitted Career Trek and Peaceful Vilage. More than a hundred supporters laced their running shoes and rollerblades to participate in the fun event at Assiniboine Park. Doreen Wilson, Chair of the 2010 Education All Charities said they were happy to support Career Trek. “Successfully supporting and encouraging students to stay in school and pursue post-secondary education will enrich not only their lives but also our communities.” The All Charities Committee is made up of Manitoba’s Department of Education and Department of Advanced Education and Literacy.

September 2010 - Database SystemCareer Trek has implemented a new database system to organize its current and former participant information. This is a process that has helped to streamline Career Trek’s operations.

June 2010 - June 2011

November 17, 2010 - Share the Magic Book ProgramOn November 17, 2010, students of the Skownan School in the Skownan First Nation got a little touch of magic. In partnership with MLA Christine Melnick’s Share the Magic book program, students of all ages and the community received books that they could take home and enjoy. Close to 50 boxes of books were sent to the Skownan First Nation, where students and adults alike got to pick five books of their choice. “We live in a literate society - it is very important to be able to read - what better way to learn the art of reading then by hav-ing many books around, with various reading levels and a variety of topics, so that when the reader is ready the book is there,” says Christine. “Share the Magic does just that, from baby board books to adult fiction and non-fiction, I hope to open up the universe to more than one reader.” Theresa Nepinak, Principal of Skownan School says it was excellent that Share the Magic and Career Trek chose to give books out to the community. “The kids were very excited because they know they didn’t have to buy the books and it really inspired them to promote the reading that they need at home,” says Theresa.

A GLIMPSE AT THE LAST YEARFebruary 22, 2011 - New Office Space On February 22, 2011, Career Trek happily moved into its new office space at 9-191 Lombard Avenue in Winnipeg, MB. This marks a milestone for the organization signifying its first move into full independency.

April 16 - 17, 2011 - NOR-MAN Region Pilot Project Career Trek launched the NOR-MAN Region Project in The Pas, with a two-day pilot project taking place at University College of the North (UCN) on April 16 and 17, 2011. Up to 50 Grade 6 students from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Kelsey School Division, and Frontier School Division (Cranberry Portage, Moose Lake, Cor-morant) spent their weekend at UCN to experience eight careers from five different career fields. This collaboration has allowed Career Trek to work with deans and instruc-tors in the faculties of Arts and Science, Business, Education, and Trades and Tech-nology. Career Trek is planning to launch the full program in January 2012.

June 2010 - June 2011 - Media CoverageCareer Trek has received more than 20 media hits about its programs and projects from major to small news outlets including CBC News TV, Global News TV, CJOB, Winnipeg Free Press, Brandon Sun, Grassroots News, Brandon Sun and much more.

A FAMILY AFFAIR There’s no sibling rivalry between Patrick and Evan Hofmann.

Instead, this brother duo is working together at Career Trek and reaping the benefits of the growing organization.

A graduate of the program, Patrick, 19, has been a Career Trek convert since that faithful year in Grade 5 when he first got involved with the program.

Nine years later and Patrick’s commitment is still going strong, now a staff member and big time supporter of the organi-zation. His enthusiasm is so infectious that he even got his younger brother, Evan, 15, to volunteer for Career Trek as a Junior Staff member, even though it was an easy sell.

“I came here on Family Days and I really liked it,” says Evan. “When I was in Grade 5, I wanted to be in it, but unfortunately I wasn’t chosen.”

Now, Evan is happy to help Career Trek participants.

“I get to learn new things and help my journey to go to university and decide what I want to do in life,” says Evan. “It’s not just helping the kids, it’s helping me too.”

For Patrick the experience of Career Trek taught him to be open to new opportunities.

“If I didn’t take the opportunity in 5th grade, there would have been so many things I would have missed out on.”

“There are so many adults that hate their jobs,” he adds. “They’re not exactly where they wanted to be when they were my age or a little bit older.”

Patrick wants to reverse that outcome for current and future Career Trek participants.

“I feel so much better for trying to help these kids. Everyday I have that feeling that I want to do more.”

For every class, Patrick ensures that his kids focus, and learn as much as they can from each lesson.

“It’s the little things that spark interest.”

“If I didn’t take the opportunity in 5th grade, there would have been so many things I would have missed out on.”
