5 reasons your career search just got easier – Eckville Echo

It is no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit Canadians hard, some who may have had thriving careers, are unemployed, or their jobs are simply no longer up to their standards.

Fortunately, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any options just because the country is finding its way through the new normal.

If you took the time to learn or brush up on your skills during the lockdown, or you’re just ready to make a change and feel revitalized, Black Press Media is there for you.

A virtual career and post-secondary education event will be held in Alberta August 3-5.

This virtual event showcases a range of career and educational opportunities that are exactly what you are looking for.

Jennifer Wood, event coordinator for Black Press Media, said attendees can expect a number of organizations to attend the event, showing that Alberta is a thriving job market. The diversity of employers is also one of the reasons for hosting a career event and Black Press Media is proud to host an event that connects job seekers with employers.

“We really bring so many options together for the comfort of your own home – when it comes to getting a job or an education, people can see so many opportunities in one place,” said Wood. “We also have a wide range of employers willing to hire and they find it a valuable experience to connect with potential employees who would be a great fit for their company.”

1. So much to discover: Discover career and education opportunities at one of Black Press Media’s ten virtual career and post-secondary education events held across the province from Vancouver Island to the Kootenays.

2. So much to learn: A virtual career and education event is an independent educational experience. Attendees can join from any device or web browser and interact live with employers and educational institutions. The participants have the opportunity to ask questions and find out about the offers of the company or institute.

3. Building connections: Over the next decade, Alberta’s job market outlook expects more than 1,315,900 jobs, three-quarters of which will require post-secondary education or training. Black Press Media’s virtual career and post-secondary education event will connect job seekers with educational institutions and employers to ensure they find the resources they need to make their career dreams come true.

4. Employer resources: With numbers like this, the Black Press Virtual Career and Post-Secondary Education events are just as important to employers – they provide an opportunity to focus on potential job seekers and see how many people are looking for employment in their field. In addition, companies will have the opportunity to host across Alberta during the event.
