The Rotary Career Symposium has transformed the second floor of the Winnipeg RBC Convention Centre into a one stop shopping experience for job/career seekers.
Students and parents can meet with education and industry representatives until 3 p.m. Mar. 16.
There are many Rotary volunteers on site to help direct traffic, answer questions and welcome visitors of all ages. Admission is $3 at the door.
One of the most helpful tools is: setyourcourse.ca, a resource that links careers with education and training links.
Besides job postings, there are handouts on resume and interview techniques.
There is something for everyone to explore at this symposium:
-
- Howabout a career in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police?
-
- Horticulture at Red River College.
-
- MB Govt poster (left) promotes careers in the high flying aerospace industry.
-
- There are many opportunities for further education in Thompson and The Pas, College of the North.
-
- U.S. universities and colleges never miss Winnipeg’s Rotary Career Symposium.
-
- Howabout a career as a truck driver?
-
- Or as a professional accountant?
-
- Or as a sound recording engineer?
Climate change has spurred interest in careers in Natural Resources.
