EDUCATION & CAREER FAIR Young Canadians Should Consider a Career in Skilled Trades Despite a diminishing supply of skilled trades workers, fewer young people than ever are pursuing these occupations in Canada. There remains a stigma around so-called blue-collar jobs, and young people are frequently unaware that professions in the trades can in fact be highly lucrative and rewarding. Skilled workers are in demand, and unlike many other types of employment, these jobs cannot be sent offshore. While no sector is impervious to economic downswings, many trade workers enjoy job security even during periods of great turmoil.
reality of their chosen professions. In comparison to the four years it takes
to complete an undergraduate degree, trade programs can either be two-year
associates degrees or even shorter certificate programs. This means trade school students can enter the workforce well ahead of their university-educated peers, and are also far more likely to find employment in a position related to their studies. A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR SKILLED TRADES WORKERS With an anticipated shortage of skilled workers looming on the horizon, young people who are proactive today have an excellent chance at finding themselves in high-earning, secure positions tomorrow. And thanks to government funding and incentives like the Apprentice Incentive Grant (AIG) and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant (ACG) — which can cover up to $4,000 for tuition, books, travel and tools — trade schools are now as affordable as they are practical.
UNIVERSITY VS. TRADE SCHOOL A streamlined path into a trade often involves completing a vocational program at a trade school. Unlike university programs, which require all students to take a variety of complementary (and often unrelated) classes, vocational programs focus entirely on preparing pupils for the

Staff at all levels of the organization are involved and are leaders: they are in charge of their career paths.” When a BC Correctional Officer in Kamloops wanted to work with inmates to create a safer, more engaging environment, she started by delving into research about successful initiatives in other communities. Encouraged by management and supervisors, she then pitched the “Right Living Approach” to her co-workers. “An overwhelming number of staff responded, a result both of how well she prepared and her passion for the issue,” says Stephanie Macpherson, Provincial Director of BC Corrections’ Adult Custody Division. “We opened a unit recently at our correctional centre at Surrey and the feedback from staff and inmates has been unbelievable.” That kind of initiative reflects BC Corrections’ emphasis not only on supporting inmates, but also staff – providing opportunities for them to explore their passions and grow in their career.
EMPOWERING STAFF FOR POSITIVE CHANGE
This people-first approach extends to staff’s interactions with inmates, including a shift from a “supervisory” focus to exploring how This focus on leadership, progressive ideas to help. “Part of our job is to care, and how and professional development is part of we care is a big part of that,” Macpherson what makes BC Corrections an attractive says. “When someone comes through our job prospect for many – timely asBC the Corrections ordoor, it’s our job to help them understand ganization is hiring in many regions. what has happened to them that has lead them down their path and to support them “For me, the focus is all on the people,” to make changes so they don’t return. Our Macpherson says. “I say to our wardens, ‘If staff don’t judge people, they accept them you take care of the staff, everything else where they’re at and help identify and build will fall into place.’” upon their strengths.”
MODELLING A ‘PEOPLE-FIRST’ APPROACH TO INMATES
“We are a ‘people first’ organization – which means we are always thinking of the people when we make decisions, and as we develop our principles, values and goals. People matter, whether it’s the individual who is in our custody or our staff who want to help support that person in custody and who wants to turn their life around. We invest in our staff to ensure our organization is agile, responsive and able to excel in pursuing its mission of public safety.”
The Right Living Approach in Surrey is a perfect example. Participating residents make decisions about how their living unit will operate, electing a leader and working together to build a smooth-running community. In this mutually respectful environment, inmates can open up with staff and each other about their life experiences – about the path that brought them to prison – and with that vulnerability and empathy the healing process begins.
“With open communication and a community built on respect and support, look at the opportunities we have to help them,” Macpherson says. A trauma-informed approach, with greater awareness of mental health issues, helps Correctional Officers form relationships with vulnerable people who often haven’t had a role model before. “Coming to us from all walks of life and with many experiences, our Correctional Officers are leaders and role models who work to make a difference,” Macpherson says, highlighting the value of respect, communication and listening. “Some of our most effective staff are women and we need more – their emotional intelligence and communications skills are often so strong.” Beyond appealing locations and flexible work schedules that encourage a work-life balance, many officers appreciate the opportunity to explore professional interests while making a difference. “Staff at all levels of the organization are involved and are leaders: they are in charge of their career paths.”

EDUCATION & CAREER FAIR Plan Ahead When Choosing a Student Job Preparing for your future career can start sooner than you think. If you’re a student looking for a part-time or summer job, consider choosing a type of employment that matches your future goals and aspirations. By doing so, you’ll get a head start on developing useful skills and experience that will be in valuable further down the road.
Don’t forget that most people usually start a new job at the bottom and work their way up. For example, if you want to be a cook, try and find a job as an assistant cook. This will provide you with relevant work experience. What’s more, you’ll be demonstrating a serious interest in the profession as well as developing contacts within the industry. However, don’t make the mistake of taking a position you hate simply because it relates to your field of study: enjoying what you do is an important aspect of any job.
It’s important to remember that almost all jobs provide worthwhile experience. Regardless of the type of work you’re doing, you’ll most likely develop your interpersonal, problem-solving and organizational skills. So, even if your work has no relation to your studies, you’ll still be gaining valuable experience. If you already have a career path in mind, find out what skills you’ll need to develop before looking for a job. If you’re gifted at a particular subject in school and your future profession requires effective communication, try your hand at tutoring: it’s the perfect

EDUCATION & CAREER FAIR Finding work after 50 Unemployment isn’t easy for anyone, regardless of their age. But unemployed men and women over 50 may find it especially difficult to find work.
Whether it’s a byproduct of agerelated discrimination or any of a host of additional variables, jobless older workers often struggle to find work. Unemployed men and women over 50 who are struggling to find work can consider the following strategies as they look to rejoin the workforce. • Revisit your résumé. Unemployed men and women over 50 have no doubt updated their résumés to reflect their most recent professional experience. But they may need to trim some of the fat in regard to their work life 10 or more years ago. Today’s hiring managers may only be concerned with recent experience that illustrates skillsets that are relevant to today’s jobs. Men and women over 50 may consider their experience from 20 years ago invaluable, but if that experience does
not meet the specific needs of the jobs they’re now seeking, then they should remove it from their résumés so hiring managers can quickly access the more relevant information from their work histories. • Embrace 21st century job hunting. Finding a job in the second decade of the 21st century is unlike job hunting in decades prior, and wholly different from how men and women over 50 looked for jobs upon beginning their professional lives. Networking can mean the difference between unemployment and landing a job. Go to job fairs attended by hiring managers and join professional organizations that host events where professionals in your field can gather. • Turn your age into a positive. Men and women over 50 should accept the likelihood that their new managers and/or hiring managers will be younger than them. When interviewing for a job, men and women over 50 should make
an effort to showcase their enthusiasm about working with and learning from younger colleagues, while also noting their desire to commit long-term to a company. Some hiring managers may surprise older applicants, viewing them as potentially more reliable than younger workers simply looking to gain some experience in a particular industry before moving on to the next opportunity. • Make use of your existing down time. Another strategy unemployed men and women over 50 can try as they look for work is to make better use of their existing downtime. Enrolling in online courses can give prospective employers the impression that applicants over 50 are both tech-savvy and willing to learn new things. Each of those things can help men and women over 50 overcome any unjustified, tech-related stigmas that hiring managers may attach to older job candidates.

EDUCATION & CAREER FAIR OUR STORY... In April 2014, Canopy Growth became the first cannabis company in North America to be publicly traded. We followed that with being the first to complete a “bought deal”, to diversify our platform to include both greenhouse and indoor growing, to acquire a major competitor and to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Continuing those firsts, we remain the only cannabis company to be a member of a major global stock market index, in this case the S&P/TSX Composite index. Away from the markets, Tweed, a Canopy Growth subsidiary, was the first to introduce the now standard concept of Compassionate Pricing to make medical cannabis affordable for patients, and we remain proud to continue supporting a patient’s right to grow at home by selling the widest variety of seeds in the legal Canadian sector. Our commitment to education has and always will be unwavering, as one of the first Canadian cannabis companies to offer Mainpro-M1 accredited continuing medical education programs to Canadian physicians, and to launch in-person assistance through our Tweed Main Street locations. Tweed was also the first Canadian producer to be approved to export dried cannabis to Germany, and our wholly-owned German subsidiary continues to offer an ever-increasing variety of products for sale through German pharmacies. Canopy Growth was the first to strike a strategic relationship with a Fortune 500 beverage alcohol supplier to bring exciting new products to market, and to enter into ground-breaking supply agreements to sell adult-use cannabis to provincial governments across the country. Most recently, in May 2018, it was the first cannabis-producing company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. From our cutting edge research at Canopy Health Innovations, to our hemp operations and financing services through Canopy Rivers Corporation, we are proud of our accomplishments, and are always looking for the next first.
Here’s to Future Growth.
Job hunting tips for young women Young women preparing to enter the workforce may discover a job market that’s difficult to crack. Getting a foot in the door in your desired field is not always easy, but young women looking to land that first job out of college can consider the following tips to help them take that all-important first step toward a rewarding career.
to schedule informational meetings. Treat such meetings like you would a job interview, asking questions about the industry and what you can do to get your foot in the door. Once such meetings have concluded, send a handwritten thank-you note to the person who took time out of their day to give you the informational meeting.
• Decide on a path. Blindly searching for work or any old job is a recipe for an aimless search that likely won’t land you a job you enjoy. Choose what it is that you want to do and who you hope to do it for, and then you can proceed with a more refined search that does not include you spending time pursuing positions you don’t want.
• Learn from each job interview. Many people, especially young people just starting out, go through many job interviews before finally landing a job. Each interview is not just an opportunity to land a job or hone your interviewing skills, but also a chance to learn what employers are looking for. Many interviews for entry-level jobs are similar regardless of the industry, so make note of your responses that went over well and those that might need a little more work.
• Don’t be afraid to seek advice. Once you determine some companies you may want to work for, don’t be afraid to seek advice from people who already work for those companies. Even if such businesses don’t have any current openings, you might be able
• Be prepared to explain why you should be hired. Job seekers should be able to explain both their enthusiasm
for the job and why they are right for that job. Keep your description of your capabilities concise, but don’t be afraid to confidently state why you are the best possible candidate. • Look for volunteering opportunities. After you have targeted a field you want to work in, you may find that there are few paying opportunities within that field. But you might be able to volunteer or even pursue an internship if you only recently graduated from college. Volunteering or accepting an unpaid internship is a great way to start making some contacts and gaining some legitimate experience, and working for free might just indicate to prospective employers that you are serious about pursuing a particular career and not just landing a job. Young women may be met with a difficult job market upon graduating from college. But there are ways to make job hunts easier and land the job of your dreams.
