Résumé-writing tour

The résumé-writing tour was held in partnership with KI’s Adult Education and Vocational Training Centre in Salluit (November 25, 2020) and Kuujjuaq (December 2, 2020).

We would like to thank Álvaro González, Employment Service Counselor at KRG, and the team at the Adult Education and Vocational Training Centre for accepting our invitation to offer a workshop on self-awareness, job search and résumé writing. We hope to repeat the experience in 2021 to complete our tour of all the centres.

Virtual reality

After familiarizing ourselves with the VR system, we are excited to offer youth the opportunity to explore, learn and discover potential careers through our 11 job simulations (electrician, excavator operator, HVAC contractor, robotics technician, welder, car mechanic, office worker, gourmet chef, and food preparation worker, bartender and store clerk) in a safe way. We hope to officially launch this new service at YES in February 2021.
