Canada Career Month
Each November, Canadians from coast-to-coast celebrate Canada Career Month. Focus is on the importance of accessing meaningful work and all those that help us in connecting with our preferred futures. As local Career Education Practitioners, we endeavour to improve access to career services and education so that our students are better prepared to develop their careers and transition into the emergent labour market.
BC Careers Week
In BC, a new governmental proclamation has now identified November 24-28, 2025 as our provincial "Careers Week", to support Career Education and expand students' knowledge of diverse career pathways.
