How to apply: Please send resumes to [email protected]
Application Deadline: March 31st, 2023
Project Description:

The “Electrifying the Future Project” is a bilingual (English/French) project that aims to bring
awareness to students about post-secondary programs that lead to jobs and services across the
electric vehicle supply chain from mineral exploration all the way to the automotive and mobility
industry. In its first phase, a rigorous marketing campaign will help to change perspectives and
bring awareness to a variety of career options in this industry.
Two in-person events will provide elementary, high school and postsecondary students exciting
and interactive experiences. First, high school students from around Northern Ontario will
compete in “MineOpportunity: the automotive and mobility edition” (June 7 & 8, 2023). In this
game, students work together to become the “wealthiest” team by successfully answering
questions, completing challenges and activities about technology, engineering, geosciences, the
environment, careers, corporate social responsibility and the automotive and mobility industry.
Second, two weeks of free summer day camps from July 17-21 and July 31-August 4th, 2023
will be offered for students in grades 6-9. STEM and non-STEM lessons and activities will be
delivered at three locations (Laurentian University, Cambrian College and College Boreal), along
with a one-day field trip to 3 local businesses (Epiroc, Technica Mining, and Laurentian
Chrysler).
The “Electrifying the Future” program will inspire coming generations to get involved in the
industry by stimulating interest in career choices. It will also raise awareness of emerging trends
of innovation and technology in the industry, and the importance of critical minerals. The
resulting experiences will appeal to and meet the needs of diverse audiences, including
Indigenous people, youth, women and other underrepresented groups.
