Workshop Description: 

The Canadian labour market is complicated, especially for international students. Job seekers have to navigate and adapt to quickly changing workplace cultures and environments. It is already hard to find work and the complexity of the 21st century labour market can make it seem impossible. 

However, there are career development skills and practices that can help you stay confident during job search, remain resilient in the face of a changing and complicated labour market, and help you advance in your career journey. Join this interactive workshop to build your career skills and learn about: 

    • Complexity of 21st century careers and what you can do to be ready
    • The importance of adaptability and resiliency and how you can build these skills 
    • How to be ready for unexpected career opportunities 
    • How to turn set backs into success

Who should attend this workshop: International students who feel discouraged by an unsuccessful job search. Also good for those who want to strengthen their resiliency for future job exploration and career advancement in Canada.
