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.

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.

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

Not every career path looks the same.

For some people, the right opportunity could mean starting a business, working independently or turning existing skills into self-employment.

If entrepreneurship is something you’ve been considering, WorkBC has resources to help you explore what self-employment involves and whether it could be the right fit for your goals.

An idea is just the beginning. Take some time to explore where yours could lead.
