HOW IT WORKS

In collaboration with Seven Oaks School Division, North Forge provides educational programming once a week to students from September to June.

Students participate in an internship placement one day a week that is matched to their new business interest.

Students are selected from grades 10, 11 or 12 from a large group of students interested in the off-site program. Students will require an advisor, educator, or teacher to work along side North Forge throughout the school year.

The internships will take place at the North Forge Fabrication Lab in the Exchange District of Downtown Winnipeg.
