Give them the TOOLS
Help them build the life they want.

Career-seekers today receive a considerable amount of information encouraging them to identify their personal interests, choose an occupation that reflects those interests, then orient their education and training path to achieve their goal. Yet still many struggle with how to do that, what steps to take to get there—and once there, where to go next.

Learning HOW is critical.

Produced by the Canada Career Consortium, Canada Prospects offers youth and adults in career transition insightful tips and strategies for planning and experiencing a rewarding career journey. The magazine shares the stories of Canadians from across the country in a wide range of occupations, providing real-life examples of career success and work/life balance.

It offers practical tools to help readers plan and manage their career paths, build confidence in themselves and their choices, and recognize the skills they need to be successful in the workplace.
