For Alberta Career Week (April 23-27), more than 150 career events are planned across the province, including six events in Red Deer, to help Albertans explore their career options, research education and training programs, and succeed in Alberta’s workforce.

Albertans who attend these events will enjoy learning about government employment programs and services to find success in the job market.

For example, Red Deer job seekers can get their resumé in shape on Monday April 23rd, and get career, education, and job search tips from local career services providers on Tuesday April 24th, so they’re ready for the job fair on Wednesday, April 25th.  A complete calendar of Alberta Career Week events and success stories is available at: http://alis.alberta.ca/acw
