The Find Your Fit tour stop in Qualicum Beach is a great opportunity for students to get valuable hands-on experience with helpful career-planning tools.

WorkBC’s Find Your Fit tour will be in Qualicum Beach at Qualicum Beach Elementary on Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018, and open to the public from 3:15 p.m. to 7 p.m.

“With more than 900,000 job openings throughout B.C. expected over the next 10 years, there are so many great opportunities, from tech to trades through to health care and business, for British Columbians,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. “Find Your Fit will give Qualicum Beach residents the chance to try careers on for size and learn about what steps they need to take on their path to a bright future.”

Students can visit up to 16 career activity stations where they can take part in hands-on, career-related activities like creating digital graphics, completing an electrical circuit and taking someone’s blood pressure. These activities will help students uncover their strengths and interests, giving them the knowledge they need to get started with their career planning. They can then move on to a labour market information station, where they can dig deeper into a career of their choice.

Industries such as tourism, tech and health care will need a broad range of skilled British Columbians. The Find Your Fit tour stop in Qualicum Beach is a unique opportunity to get insight into in-demand careers from a diverse range of industries that are important to building a strong, sustainable and innovative economy for the 21st-century that works for everyone.

The Find Your Fit tour builds on the government’s commitment to provide British Columbians with the services they need by giving them the information to help them make decisions about education and training.

The Find Your Fit tour and WorkBC.ca are first steps for all British Columbians on a journey to discovering information about a variety of exciting careers that will build a brighter future for individuals, families and communities, and help build a better B.C. for everyone.
