Work BC offers glimpse into future job prospects for Brookswood students

Brookswood Secondary students were offered a sneak peek into some of the in-demand jobs that could be awaiting them in the future.

The Langley school was the latest stop for Find Your Fit, an interactive event where people can find about careers in demand, learn about online resources to help them find work and even try some of the necessary skills they would need for different careers.

The event was held during the day for the students on Tuesday (Jan. 12) and was open to the general public after school as well.

Find Your Fit connects participants with labour market information resources including WorkBC.ca’s online tool, Blueprint Builder, which helps users map their career plan.

The program is put on by Work BC.

“This program offers students an excellent opportunity to try out some of the various skills needed for in-demand careers,” said Langley MLA Mary Polak. “Students may discover a career they might not have previously considered.”
