Overcoming Obstacles in the Labour Market

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

​

In the past two years we’ve found the job market has deteriorated rapidly for youth, immigrants, Indigenous Canadians and those with disabilities, making it considerably harder to find and keep a job. This year’s BC Labour Market Year-in-Review Workshop provides a framework to support those in career transition to understand these changes and overcome them.

Topics will include:

• Creating a framework of the labour market which makes sense for job seekers and students

• Major government programs and announcements from the past year with a review of promises from BC's 2024 Election

• What is the impact of the cap on int’l students, temporary foreign workers and the hours int’l students can work?

• Strategies for overcoming the challenges faced by youth, immigrants, Indigenous Canadians and those with disabilities.

• Overview of key labour market research, reports and labour market tools released during 2024

• Utilizing LMI to make informed choices around education, training and other skills enhancement.

• Where is LMI failing career professionals and what can be done about it.
