Mindie Kitkowski, Training Coordinator
MY RÉSUMÉ
Youngest trainee
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"I chose this line of work right out of high school. I graduated in 1998 and saw an ad in the paper for a free training program to become a sales agent. Lo and behold, it was the Manitoba Tourism and Education Council who had that ad.
"I had applied and I was actually too young for the program. I was only 16 or 17 and you had to be 18 to 24 to qualify, so our executive director thought she'd interview me and see if I was at the level to fit in with the 18 year-olds.
"Luckily I was. So I went through the six week training program."
