BCIT is again offering this event to students in grades 9-12 who identify as female or may be gender diverse.  The event takes place on April 10th.

If there are several names from one school, we will aim to spread the opportunity to as many schools as possible and may have to resort to a draw (like last year). 

• Full name
• School
• Grade
• If student is Indigenous
• Once the names are selected, students will be sent a field trip form, and BCIT Jill of all Trades Registration Package (due mid-March).

This is a great opportunity for students to tour BCIT trades, and do hands-on sampler-type activities during the day.
