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.
