The Brandon Career Symposium is designed to be an opportunity for students and adults to hear from and talk with exhibitors about all the challenges and opportunities in making career choices. During this three day event, you can share your professional experiences of sustaining a career in your displayed profession.
Our Objective
Our objective is to create an environment where youth and adults can visit informative and interactive displays, attend speaker sessions and meet with leading representatives in business and education to discover career and educational paths for ongoing personal growth and development.
Gain Information
The Symposium is intended to make youth and adults aware of the educational and technical skills they would require for future employment. As well, and if at all possible, they are encouraged to pursue their education and enroll in relevant fields. Participants need information about job opportunities and the types of education, skills and experience they require to be competitive in the job market and by representing your organization/business at the Brandon Career Symposium you will provide them with another tool in being successful.
Increase Awareness
In the past, the Symposium has served to increase awareness among both employers and students. The high level of participation by employers and students suggests a growing interest in issues related to youth and employment.
Why Should I Attend?
Taking an active role in the Brandon Career Symposium will benefit both participants and your organization in meeting employment-related needs. The Career Symposium is the perfect opportunity to establish recognition and credibility within this growing market and ensure that you can meet your long-term human resources needs.
Our Target
The Symposium targets students in Western Manitoba; however, all high schools within Manitoba, Eastern Saskatchewan, and the Northern United States are encouraged to attend. Senior 1 through to Senior 4 students attend the Symposium to explore the endless possibilities for their future in a self-motivated and interactive
setting.
Entrepreneurs of all ages, people looking to switch career tracks and citizens new to Canada are all encouraged to visit The Brandon Career Symposium.

AWARENESS AND PREPARATION FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS
Be there to assist in understanding the unprecedented opportunities for youth to find their place in the contemporary workforce.
Developing an understanding of who you are – your values, interests, aptitudes,
abilities, personal traits and desired life style – will put you in a better position to
evaluate educational options and career alternatives best suited to you.
Examine your personal interests and skills as they relate to a variety of career
opportunities to help you make appropriate and realistic decisions. Keep in mind
that the goal of exploring careers is not just employment, but a purposeful way of
integrating your personal interests and values with the kinds of work that are
most satisfying for you.
Career preparation focuses specifically on issues related to the world of work.
Experience gained in a variety of work place situations will help you to prepare
for transition to a work environment, or to post-secondary education or training.
