Young people in Manitoba will continue to have access to a resource that allows them to learn about career and education options, thanks to support from the federal and provincial governments. The Honourable Peter Bjornson, Minister of Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade for Manitoba, and Rod Bruinooge, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, made the announcement today.
“We are committed to strengthening our economy by providing opportunities for young people to build a strong future in Manitoba,” said Minister Bjornson. “This project pulls together valuable labour market information for students to help them make informed choices about their future.”
“Our government’s top priority is jobs and the economy,” said MP Bruinooge. “In today’s environment, it is more important than ever that young Canadians have the skills and information they need to participate and succeed in the job market. Our government is proud to support projects like this one that benefit so many youth.”
With assistance from the governments of Canada and Manitoba, the Manitoba School Counsellors’ Association will continue to publish the magazine Manitoba Prospects, which helps young people across the province make informed career choices and learn about educational opportunities.
The Manitoba School Counsellors’ Association will receive $25,000 in federal Youth Awareness funding and $25,000 from the province of Manitoba to support this project.
