Skills Ontario Young Women’s Conference 2026
May 4 & 5, 2026

*NEW for 2026* We’re excited to introduce a brand-new feature in this year’s exhibitor hall: the Industry Corner, launching with the theme Careers in Aviation. This area will give students a chance to explore an expanded, hands-on space where they can engage with industry demonstrations, equipment, and interactive activities that showcase the many pathways within aviation. Throughout the morning, students can also attend a series of 15-minute Spotlight Sessions, where presenters will share insights into different careers across the aviation sector. It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to gain real-world exposure and spark new career interests.
