"Career Week is dedicated to promoting career awareness and reminding career seekers to connect with the people, programs and resources needed both to develop skills for work and to build rewarding careers," said the Honourable Susan Sullivan, Minister of Human Resources, Labour and Employment. "With all signs pointing to a very optimistic future here in our province, individuals are encouraged to take ownership of their future career plans, and utilize programs and services offered by the Provincial Government to support them along their journey."

The Department of Human Resources, Labour and Employment offers a suite of services to ensure that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have the information they need to make wise career decisions — information about skills, education and training requirements — to make the connections needed to build successful and rewarding careers.

These services include online resources such as JobsinNL, which hosts employment opportunities available here in Newfoundland and Labrador; LMIWorks, a provincial labour market and career information website; a nation-wide toll-free labour market and career information hotline (1-800-563-6600); a Career Work Centre network consisting of 14 community-based resources and 12 Department of Human Resources, Labour and Employment offices to serve the career and employment needs of residents; skills development supports; the Graduate Employment Program; and, apprenticeship and wage subsidy supports.

"Our Career Work Centres and offices will be hosting activities throughout Career Week to showcase some of the resources and supports available to assist all residents of the province with informed educational and career planning," said Minister Sullivan. "Individuals, community partners and employers will participate in activities that include on-the-spot services for resume and interview assistance, and promotion of the recently launched HR Manager, an online toolkit for employers. By highlighting the various programs and services our government provides we will inform residents of how we can help them along their chosen career path from beginning to end."
