For Educators: Military Resources
Employment
Employment is about more than holding a job. Every occupation and role has its benefits, and no two are alike. From the kind of job you might imagine when you picture “office work” to trades and the Military, the working world is filled with opportunities waiting for your skills. All you have to do is figure out where you want to start.
Forms of Employment
Employment takes many different forms — and some jobs will likely interest you more than others. You might find yourself drawn to a corporate role, a government position, a trade career, military service, part-time work or an apprenticeship program. As always, the path to making the right decision starts with knowing all your options.
