Employment issues and recommendations for youths in rural Ontario Dr. Sara Mann University of Guelph

Agenda Differentiation between research study and workshop Summary of findings from focus groups What research tells us Job search advice

The Change in the Employment Relationship JOB SECURITY Life time job security Jobs are permanent Company manages career Low emphasis on skill development EMPLOYABILITY Limited job security Jobs are temporary and non-standard Career self management High emphasis on skill development

The Good & Bad News “Bad” news is…. Responsibility to upgrade your skills is yours! Job security isn’t what it used to be Jobs are becoming more and more non-standard “Good” news is…. You have a lot more influence on what type of job you want to have, what skills you choose to develop and how you want to shape your career

Recommendations for job search Never underestimate importance of networking (and role of social capital) Don’t just look at the wage but at the TOTAL package What else does that include?

Recommendations for job search Importance of fit Between you and the job Between you and the company Even when you are unemployed, remember that it is just as important for you to find the right job as it is to find any job Lets look at Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For Whole Foods Video _hires.fortune/ _hires.fortune/ Container Store’s Hiring Secret s.fortune/
