iCubed event allows students to shape their future

Nov 8, 2022 | 4:18 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — At the Prince George Civic Centre, around 150 students in grades 9 through 12 got the chance to think about their future career paths, at least for a day.

iCubed Mini has the goal of inspiring our province’s secondary students to shape their own future through their education and to allowing them to explore multiple career paths.

Sagar Saxena, director of programs and operations of YELL North says that iCubed Mini events are designed to kickstart and expose Northern BC youth to innovative thinking, new career paths, and help grow their entrepreneurial mindset.

A number of keynote speakers were present to give students knowledge and advice for going forward in their future careers and lives.
