Help Them Find Direction

Change is constant. Career seekers face tough choices and can use help finding their way. Free Canada Career Week resources offer inspiration, information and tools for informed career decision-making. Change is part of moving forward, and shapes our future. Based on the High Five message Change is Constant, this year’s Canada Prospects is all about exploring new possibilities through change under the theme

Seek Change… Find Direction.

Its full-colour pages are filled with profiles of real people who have grown through change – finding work they love. Canada Prospects also provides tools to help career seekers embrace change through self assessment and career awareness exercises and articles. A personal, interactive magazine, Canada Prospects is a hands-on resource designed to help readers find direction to personal career satisfaction. Readers will learn about industry sectors, essential skills and employability skills as well as interview techniques, résumé writing and much more.
