Amplify Canada!

Each November, Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast celebrate the importance of accessing meaningful work and all those that help us in connecting with our preferred futures. Canada Career Month volunteers work to advance the agenda of improving access to career services and education so that all Canadians are better prepared to develop their careers and transition into the emergent labour market.

This year, we are AMPLIFYING CANADA. Take a look at the resources and initiatives that you can use to advance your career, or help someone understand different aspects of their own career.

Amplify Career Services

Look at the Services Available in Your Region

Your local YMCA or YWCA may have an employment readiness program. Your local community rec or health centre might have a permanent career services program. Libraries often have resources, workshops, or someone to connect with about your career, your résumé, or even recommending a good book to read! And don't forget career coaches or career counsellors who may work independently! Look and ask around to see what's in your region!

Use Provincial Career Development Services

Different provinces have different opportunities to connect with a career professional through a provincial employment program. Provinces may have central services like WorkBC, Nova Scotia Works or WorkingNB. Others provinces may have processes or requirements to use provincial career services. Conduct a quick search and connect with Career Services at through your province. It doesn't hurt to ask!

There are also career development associations with professionals you can connect with across the country.

Use University Career Services or Alumni Networks

Many of the Career Month collaboration group's members represent post-secondary organizations. They work hard every year to support students and alumni in career development, co-op programs, and skills development, no matter where you are in your post-secondary training! Connect with Career Services at your post-secondary!
