Over the past 24 years, there has been a substantial increase in interest from institutions around the world as well as high-school counsellors and leaders. There is a definite move forward in recruiting students and providing them with advanced forms of information in specific areas of interest.

During these 24 years we have grown in attendance of both exhibitors and high school students. In 2020 we had the unique experience of working through a pandemic and hosting a virtual SYF event. Although this experience was not the same as our typical in-person events, we were still able to support the students who attended. It is with excitement and diligence that the SYF volunteer team has decided to plan for an in-person event in 2021. We continue to monitor government guidelines and have a plan to pivot to a virtual event (different from last year), if required.

Previously, this event was held twice per year in Saskatoon and Regina. Thousands of students from all over Saskatchewan made the trip to this event to discover the opportunities available to them. The event was presented in a high-quality trade show approach with interactive display booths. The universities, colleges and organizations with in-house training brought expertise and innovation in a variety of fields. Students were provided with in-depth information in the form of literature, technological demonstrations, seminar presentations and one-on-one consultations.

We intend to make this event as successful as past years.
