Ontario Helping Students and Job Seekers Prepare for In-Demand Careers

To strengthen and protect Ontario’s current and future workforce, the Ontario government has launched My Career Journey, an interactive online tool which will connect students and job seekers to the information they need to begin fulfilling careers. The portal is one more tool the government is using to help students and job seekers find good-paying jobs in the face of U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty, while ensuring Ontario has the skilled workforce needed to build an economy that is more competitive, resilient and self-reliant.

“Whether you’re stepping into the workforce after graduation or making a job change, Ontario has the world-class training and education opportunities you need to launch a fulfilling career,” said Nolan Quinn, Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security. “As we transform Ontario’s economy into the most competitive place in the G7 to invest, create jobs and do business, My Career Journey will protect Ontario students and workers by providing them with the information they need to find good-paying, in-demand work during this time of economic uncertainty.”

My Career Journey is a new website that will help high school students, new Canadians and people looking to change careers find what education and training they need to prepare for in-demand careers. The portal features:

• Interactive maps to explore regional in-demand careers and Ontario’s colleges, universities and Indigenous Institutes.
• Job profiles for in-demand careers in key sectors such as health care, skilled trades and engineering.
• A questionnaire that provides users with a detailed list of personalized education and career resources to help job seekers and students consider their next steps.

“Now more than ever, we need to ensure job seekers are equipped with the tools they need to enter rewarding, good-paying careers,” said David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. “My Career Journey is another way our government is strengthening our workforce, boosting our productivity and protecting Ontario’s economy.”

“It’s never too early to start planning for the future. My Career Journey gives students the tools they need to explore their options and take the next step with confidence,” said Paul Calandra, Minister of Education. “Our government is focused on supporting students every step of the way to ensure they are prepared for good-paying, stable careers that contribute to a strong Ontario.”

As part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario in the face of current economic threats and transform Ontario’s economy into one of the most competitive places in the G7 to invest and do business, My Career Journey is being launched to provide people with personalized career planning that will help students and workers find the education and skills they need to prepare for the jobs of today, and for decades to come.
