Inspire Connect Explore Learn

The Career Education Council (CEC) is a registered charitable organization based in Guelph, Wellington, and Dufferin dedicated to providing youth with meaningful opportunities for exploring careers, building skills, and learning in a hands-on environment. We collaborate extensively with local employers, educators, and community partners to provide resources that will help youth to make more informed choices about their future education, training, and employment pathway.
