In November 2018, Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast will unite in celebrating the skills of the Canadian workforce. Brought to you by the Canadian Council for Career Development (3CD), Canada Career Month will feature events, advocacy initiatives, and on-line activity aimed squarely at advancing our national focus on skills. The theme this year is “I Know I Can Because...” emphasizing the existing and abundant skills of Canadians. We will shine a spotlight on connections that can harness the talent of our emergent labour market for the jobs of today and the careers of the future. We invite you to take the challenge above and share your story with us! 

Canada has one of the most skilled cohorts of young entrants into the labour market in its history. Young Canadians are educated at unprecedented levels, have work experiences beyond what is widely reported and are being challenged to excel in all kinds of extra-curricular activities that demand skill acquisition. It is important to identify what more can be done to better prepare Canadians for the needs of our emergent labour market and we all stand to gain when the existing skills of Canadians are understood, extended and celebrated. Canada Career Month 2018 will tell this story to the public and feature the efforts of its sponsors prominently.
