Have a great summer and see you next school year!
It’s hard to believe, but here we are, May already! The end of the school year is in sight, and summer is just around the corner. Whether you’re wrapping up high school, finishing another year of post-secondary, or simply looking forward to a well-deserved break, now’s the time to look back on how far you’ve come… and look ahead to what’s next.

In the meantime, we’ve packed this issue with helpful content to carry you into the summer months.
Looking for ways to make the most of your summer? We’ve got articles on summer jobs for students, summer camps, science experiments, and even options for post-secondary students and grads who want to balance rest and productivity. Not sure what comes next? Learn about unexpected skilled trades, careers in marine engines, cabinet making, broadcasting, and more.

No matter what your summer holds (relaxation, work, learning, or all three!), remember that growth doesn’t stop just because school’s out. Try something new, reconnect with your goals, and be proud of how far you’ve come this year.
For even more unique insights, check out our interviews with industry pros for real-world advice on careers, education, and more.
