Generation Jobless

Yesterday you should have selected and researched three hot jobs in Canada right now. You were not supposed to research jobs that you already know about and like.

We are looking for jobs that you could actually get one day. In order to make the importance of this task clear and real to you, we are going to put a pause on the process - for one day.

Today, let's look at the Documentary Generation Jobless - including the info-graphic and their top 10 list of jobs.

Homework: take this task seriously and do some real research about what jobs could be available to you in the future. It is not easy to get a solid job anymore. Be ready to work on a slide presentation on Tuesday.

Hot Jobs - Canadian and BC Labour Market???

Announcements - Guest speakers: Forestry (March 14th), Fine Arts (TBA) and Dr. Claire (March 18th)! Please complete work from yesterday. Place in duotang. NIC Trades Fair coming up. Crown Isle Job Fair coming up.

What are the "Hot Jobs" right now?

• Google "Hot Jobs Canada" and "Hot Jobs BC." You can also check out the links below. What trends are you noticing? What jobs are popping up that intrigue you? (FYI - forestry is a hot job market again).
• Pick three to research. Complete the Hot Job Sheet and use it to create a  PowerPoint. On Tuesday - we will have a "Job Fair" and present the jobs that we discovered. You will also have Friday to work on this.
