Mr. Speaker, “Make Career Connections--Team Up!” is the theme of Canada Career Week 2004.
From October 31 to November 6 community events are being organized across Canada urging career seekers to access all their allies and connect with the people, programs and resources needed to develop workplace skills and build rewarding careers. By building networks of supporters and by being part of the networks of others, we can find challenging and rewarding work opportunities.
The Government of Canada realizes that our success in the knowledge-based economy depends on each Canadian realizing his or her career potential.
Earlier this week, Take Our Kids to Work Day helped students to job shadow an older friend or parent in the workplace and to explore the range of choices available to them after high school. Skills development does not stop at school but continues throughout our working lives.
