High-school student interns offer advice for career planning

Nicole Howard, 17, isn’t shy to admit that she “likes to build stuff.”
That’s what attracted her to the welding program at Notre Dame High School in Calgary and why she is spending her summer as a welding intern with Plains Fabrication & Supply, a Calgary-based steel fabrication company.
Now, in her second paid internship, she’s pleasantly surprised by how much she enjoys it.
“I really didn’t think I would like it as much as I do,” says Howard.
