Conservation Careers Fair Zambia Attending the 2024 Conservation Careers Fair Zambia provided me with valuable insights into the evolving job market and how to strategically position myself for success. I had the privilege of hearing from remarkable speakers like Saziso Moyo and Remmy Kopeka, whose experiences offered fresh perspectives on the importance of building a career in conservation. The panel discussion, Job Seeking in the #Digital Era, moderated by Serena Mwale, featured industry leaders such as Mark Townsend, Wezi Muyembe MZIM, Tafadzwa Bete Sasa, and Lulu Haangala-Wood. They shared practical tips on how to effectively brand yourself for career growth: Mark Townsend highlighted the necessity of digital skills to tap into emerging opportunities. Lulu emphasized the importance of storytelling to shape your online presence. Wezi Muyembe MZIM stressed being authentic, as your next employer may already be watching. Tafadzwa encouraged becoming a problem-solver to unlock career opportunities. Inspired by these discussions, I’ve aligned myself with organizations where I am seeking internships to shape my career direction, focusing on building practical skills and meaningful networks. #ConservationCareers #CareerGrowth #DigitalSkills #Storytelling #Authenticity #VolunteerStrategically #JobSeeking #Sustainability #CareerDevelopment #YouthInConservation #Networking

In #Ontario, there is a discussion around #skilled #trades and work #experience on social media and various initiatives. Here are some key highlights: 🔔 ➡#Government Initiatives: The Ontario government is actively promoting skilled trades through various programs addressing labour shortages. For example, the "Skilled Trades Awareness and Readiness (STAR) program" encourages underrepresented groups, such as #youth, #women, and #newcomers, to explore careers in the skilled trades. This program supports career fairs, mentorships, and hands-on training opportunities - (https://shorturl.at/hi3hO) ➡#Brand Promotion: Skilled Trades Ontario / Métiers spécialisés Ontario launched a branding campaign in October 2022 with the tagline "Opportunity in every skill," focusing on the #diverse #career paths available in skilled trades. This initiative aims to inspire and inform both current and future trades professionals about the rewarding opportunities in this sector (https://shorturl.at/8t6gC). ➡#Career #Fairs and Events: The government is organizing career fairs across the province to showcase the skilled trades to young people. These events aim to raise awareness of the various trades and the significant #job security they can offer  - September 2024 (https://shorturl.at/QGCeJ) ➡#Social #Media Discussions: Online platforms feature conversations about the #challenges and #opportunities within skilled trades, including labour shortages and the importance of vocational training.
