Youth Services
There's no shortage of information to help youth and families learn about career planning, occupations, education/training, and the labour market. That's where the 'Let's Talk Careers' program and Nova Scotia Works School Liaisons come in.
The "Let's Talk Careers" sessions aim to help families and communities support youth in making informed career choices by fostering open dialogue and sharing valuable resources.
Nova Scotia Works School Liaisons (NSWSL) offer support by providing access to labour market information, employment opportunities, and delivering career planning workshops. These services are available to students, families, and community groups both virtually and in-person, helping to build connections and strengthen career pathways.
School Liaisons
School Liaisons are located in all regions of NS and available to help students and families at no cost. Reach out to our Career Connections School Liaisons at anytime with questions or for assistance.
