BC WorkInfoNet provides B.C. career planners, job seekers and educational planners with a dynamic regional news service. It can be used in libraries, employment centres, schools, universities, colleges and adult training programs. Four magazine style, B.C.-specific articles are published every day - career profiles, labor market analysis and useful career-related Internet site reviews. Each month, a local expert comes online to answer questions about their career.

Who created BC WorkInfoNet Daily Career News?
The Daily Career News is a collaborative venture between the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. The news is supervised and monitored by BC WorkInfoNet, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing useful online labor market and career information to British Columbians.

The Daily Career News is developed and produced by the Bridges Initiatives, a Web publishing pioneer and labor market information researcher located in Kelowna, B.C. Bridges specializes in building online resources and career information content, and promoting joint private sector-government career development resources.

Funding for BC WorkInfoNet Daily Career News was provided by Human Resources Development Canada, a national government agency located in Vancouver, B.C. They are a leading supporter of useful career and labor market initiatives across the province.

How can the Daily Career News be used?
For Individual Users:
Bookmark this site and take a minute to read the Career News page each day. Your knowledge of the latest career alternatives will increase. You'll gain a sense of possibility in this fast changing world.

For Career Training Providers:
Print out the BC WorkInfoNet news page for your students and use it as a daily "career warm-up." Students tested for career awareness before using the Career News could list an average of 27 alternative careers. Classes were then provided with the Career News for five minutes each day. After 30 days, students, on average, were aware of 60 career alternatives.

For Librarians:
Add an ever-changing career resource to your library. Each day, BC WorkInfoNet provides four new articles to a printed vertical file of career titles - create a hard copy 'Career File' that local residents can use every day because the file is updated every day.

For Career Professionals:
Update your knowledge of emerging and evolving career opportunities through a "one-minute bulletin" of career news information each day. A school counsellor provides her fellow professionals with print copies of the Career News in their 'boxes' for daily review.
