Whether you are changing careers or just starting out, a key part of researching which career is right for you is to have a better understanding of the job, duties associated with that job, and what the future holds (job prospects) in a particular industry.  WorkFutures.bc.ca can help you answer questions like:

• What are the key industries in BC?
• What is a job really like?
• Is this kind of job likely to be found in my area?
• How do I know which is the right career for me?

The best way to navigate this site is by clicking on either “Occupation” or “Industry” under PROFILES in the left navigation bar.  This will bring up an alphabetized index of hundreds of occupations and industries.  It is easier to navigate WorkFutures.bc.ca this way as opposed to using the keyword search fields.

This site provides content in both French and English, and is best used to gain an overall sense of a job or industry.  It does not provide job prospect information for specific regions or cities within BC, so it is still important to research your local area using other resources.  However, WorkFutures.bc.ca is a great resource for gathering information and getting a general understanding of a specific occupation.  It can help you take a step closer to your new career!
