Here are some helpful resources that can assist Canadian youth as they explore career options, plan their education and training, and make informed decisions about their future in the job market.
Get to know yourself
Before you start planning your career, take some time to think about yourself. What are you good at? What areas could you improve in? This self-reflection helps you figure out what you want to do for work. Doing a self-assessment can show you what skills you already have and what you might need to learn to get a certain job or work in a particular industry. Find out more about why this is important.
