Changing careers in Canada

A career change works best when the funding question, the training question and the hiring question are answered together rather than one at a time.

Start with the destination

Pick a target occupation and check regional demand, licensing requirements and typical earnings before choosing a program.

Check support before enrolling

Some supports require approval before training starts. Contact your provincial employment service early.

Use transferable skills

Supervision, safety, customer service and equipment experience often shorten the path into a related occupation.
