B.C. Virtual Career Event

Friday, May 24th, 2024
More than 43% of Canada’s marine workforce is expected to retire in the next 10 years, opening up thousands of job opportunities!
Students will have the opportunity to ask speakers questions. The session will be moderated by George Richard, Career Education Coordinator for School District 83 (North Okanagan-Shuswap).
No matter the path, there’s a place for everyone:
- Direct-to-work
- Trades
- College
- University
This event is part of CMCF’s collaborative effort with marine employers and educators nationwide to increase awareness of careers in Canada’s marine sector among young people, those seeking second careers, new citizens, and equity-deserving groups.
