Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills
The Find Your Fit tour stop in Osoyoos 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 Osoyoos at Osoyoos Secondary school on Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018, and open to the public from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
“There are growing career opportunities for Okanagan residents in a wide variety of sectors,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. “Find Your Fit will give students and parents the information and hands-on experience they need to help them find a career that will help them thrive.”
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 Osoyoos 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 21st-century economy 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.
