Your Dream Job is Waiting

At Times Change, we understand that finding your ideal career path can be challenging. That’s why we offer the Career Advancement and Motivation Program (CAMP), a daytime career planning workshop for women who are uncertain about their career direction or considering a change.

Under the guidance of an experienced career coach and facilitator, participants will explore their work-related skills, interests, and values and make an action plan toward their career goals. The program will also connect each participant with a professional actively working in their field of interest for an informational interview which will provide additional insight.

The CAMP Experience 

The CAMP program consists of nine weekly class sessions. Over the span of nine-weeks participants will:

  • Participate in weekly three-hour class sessions, available both online and in-person to explore their skills, interests, and values.
  • Collaborate with peers to examine possible occupations in a supportive group environment.
  • Gain insights into the evolving labour market to make informed career decisions that reflect the demands of the labour market.
  • Develop an actionable career plan based on achievable goals.
  • Get connected with a professional working in their field of interest.
  • Receive one-on-one counselling with an employment counsellor (after completing the program).
Attending all weekly sessions ensures participants receive the maximum benefits of their career planning journey. The CAMP program requires the one-time purchase of the Career Planning Workbook, however, those in need may discuss the option of a subsidized workbook with the Coordinator.
 

The next workshop starts:

Monday, March 24, 2025 to Monday, May 12 2025, 10 AM – 1 PM every Monday for 8 weeks.
