Organizers of last week's Level Up! Skilled Trades Fair in Cobourg saw attendance surpass 2,300 students families and job seekers exploring interactive exhibits and talking with skilled-trades professionals about career opportunities in Ontario's 140-plus skilled trades.

This number included 2,104 students in Grades 7 to 12 from 33 schools.

Held Sept. 23 and 24 at the Columbus Community Centre, the event featured 35 exhibitors.

Level Up! Has moved on to other communities, but Cobourg was the first stop on a 12-city tour that is expected to welcome more than 50,000 students from across the province this fall.
