Welcome to Take Our Kids to Work!
Take Our Kids to Work (TOKW) is Canada’s leading career-exploration program, providing young people with meaningful opportunities to experience the world of work, discover diverse career pathways, and connect their learning to future possibilities.
Since 2022, the Students Commission of Canada has led the national delivery of TOKW, building on our commitment to youth engagement and empowerment. Through innovative resources, workplace experiences, and career exploration opportunities, we continue to evolve the program to reflect the changing nature of work and help prepare young people for the future.
