Work BC Abbotsford

09/05/2026

This Labour Day, we’re taking a moment to recognize the hard work, dedication and contributions of workers across our communities.

We hope you have the opportunity to enjoy the long weekend, spend time with the people who matter to you and take a well-deserved break.

Our WorkBC Centres will be closed on Monday, September 7 for Labour Day and will reopen on Tuesday, September 8 during regular business hours.

Wishing everyone a safe and restful Labour Day long weekend.

Applying for your first few jobs and not sure who to use as a reference?

A reference doesn’t always have to be a previous employer. A teacher, coach, volunteer supervisor or someone else who knows your work ethic and reliability may be able to speak to the skills you would bring to a workplace.

WorkBC can help youth prepare for the hiring process, understand what employers may ask for and feel more confident taking those first steps into the workforce.

Connect with your local WorkBC Centre to learn more.

Thinking about what comes next after school?

Your path could include work, post-secondary education, skills training, an apprenticeship or something you haven’t considered yet. There’s no one right way to build a career.

WorkBC can help you explore occupations, understand training requirements and find options that align with your interests, strengths and goals.

If you’re an Indigenous youth exploring what’s next, connect with your local WorkBC Centre and see where your path could take you.

Changing careers doesn’t mean starting over.

Skills developed through previous employment, education, volunteering and other experiences can often transfer into new occupations and industries.

WorkBC can help Indigenous job seekers identify transferable skills, explore where those skills are in demand and determine what additional training or experience may support their next step.
