Education Support Workers
It's a big job. And it's no small part in our kids' success.
It takes a lot of work to keep Manitoba's schools running and help students focus on learning. And thousands of Education Support Workers make it happen, every day.

- Working in classrooms to provide one-on-one support,
- Supporting teachers and helping parents stay connected,
- Providing resources and making the latest books available in school libraries,
- Keeping kids safe crossing busy streets, to and from school,
- Updating and maintaining technology to help our kids learn,
- Cleaning and maintaining schools so they're safe for everyone,
And so much more!
