November is Manitoba Career and Workforce Development Month

Do you want to build your network and engage with professionals in your field? Are you looking to meet other newcomers who are achieving their career goals in Canada?

Manitoba Career and Workforce Development Month (November) is your opportunity to connect with businesses, regulators, and successful newcomers at Employment Solutions.

Throughout November 2014, Employment Solutions will hold nine Industry Insights sessions focusing on different business sectors. At Industry Insights events, you will learn about industry trends and key competencies directly from employers and hiring managers, hear success stories from other newcomers, and find out what career pathways are available to you. Industry Insights also facilitate direct connections between employers and highly skilled, job-ready newcomers, leading to new hires and work placements.

During Career and Workforce Development Month 2013, Employment Solutions partnered with 92 employers and organizations to host career panels and information sessions for over 1,000 newcomers and other participants at Manitoba Start.

What other participants have to say:
•“I got my first job through networking! I was able to meet a friend of a common friend who referred me to my employer now. I can say that what Manitoba Start taught me about networking skills really paid off!”
•”Thank you for the teaching, mentoring, information, and connections you provided for me. With your help, I have not only attained skills at searching and getting desired jobs but also [gained] life, relationship and survival skills.”
•“I was recognized as Employee of the Month! I truly appreciate the support and the networking contacts you have given me.”
