Incentives for training can also be explored. BENEFIT TO EMPLOYERS 07 Staff can help you prepare for that important face-to-face interview with an employer. Learn what questions are typically asked, and how you can best articulate your skills, to optimize your chance of success. John pointed out that there is a lot of competi- tion for jobs and people have to market themselves. INTERVIEW SKILLS 04 If up to eight people sign up, six to eight week Essential Skills workshops will be held lo- cally to prepare people to meet the needs and challenges of future academic and career goals in a variety of occu- pations, including: Health Care, Daycare Worker, Skilled Trades Helpers, Hospitality, Clerical, Landscaping, Retail and Computer Essentials. WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE 06 The staff also make referrals to other servic- es, such as Housing, Service Canada, Youth Programs or Training Programs. If you are out of work or laid off, visit the Second Career assessment centre on site, to see if you qualify.
