The Huron Chamber of Commerce is proud to support our member and partner, the Avon Maitland District School Board, in delivering its Career Connections Days at high schools across Huron County this spring.

These events are part of AMDSB’s broader career development strategy and are specifically designed for Grade 10 students—an age when many are starting to think seriously about life beyond high school. Career Connections Days bring local professionals into classrooms for small-group “career conversations” that can leave a lasting impact.

As the largest business organization in Huron County, the Chamber’s members have some of the most valuable insights to share. You’ve built businesses, earned promotions, solved problems, taken risks, and adapted to change. Those experiences—your experience—is exactly what students need to hear as they begin making decisions that will shape their futures.

“Our partnership with AMDSB, a proud Chamber member, is a natural extension of our mission to connect community leaders,” says Colin Carmichael, Executive Director of the Huron Chamber of Commerce. “We believe our responsibility doesn’t begin when someone opens a business or takes a management role—it begins when they’re still students, making the first decisions that shape their future. By supporting programs like this, we’re investing in our future members from secondary school, through post-secondary, and into the careers that will drive our local economy.”

Whether you’re in skilled trades, healthcare, hospitality, tech, manufacturing, finance, farming, or something else entirely—your voice matters. You don’t need a slideshow or a script. Just be ready to talk candidly about how you got where you are, what your work is really like, and what you’ve learned along the way.
