Kids to Work Day is an annual event that takes place early November each year, and is hosted by Facilities and led by Building Operations. Kids to Work Day is an opportunity for our staff to bring their Grade 9 children to visit their parents’ workplace. This day allows the students to gain insight about the careers available at UBC and learn in a working environment. As they learn more about the world of work, we also aim to inspire them to dream of a higher education.
Due to the nature of the work done in the university, and the potential safety hazards involved, a guided day of activities will be planned for the students who are unable to spend the day on the job with their parent.
