The first season
JobsTVnews is a new concept in career marketing. We are both a television program
broadcast twice weekly across Canada on Canadian Learning Television and a
high traffic website with considerable streaming video content. All our half
hour shows and online videos are about jobs and careers. We cover the world
of business and organizations as employers - and career opportunities. We try
to provide our viewers and visitors with enough information to decide if a
particular job would be a career option. And then, we help them find a job.
We have just completed our first 13 week season and will return to production
for 13 more shows in mid winter 2004. The start up has been everything from
hard work to fun - enriched by a wonderful learning experience. The greatest
of which was our discovery that many Canadians truly love their careers - from
Plumbers to Research Scientists. We had a 64 year old plumber with 49 years
experience tell us that he has truly enjoyed every day of his career and a
Research Scientist describe the feeling of a scientific breakthrough - powerful
stuff.
We know from experience and from friends and family that many Canadians do
not enjoy their careers - some even hate their jobs. What a waste! More information
and better advice at the right time can lead to a more suitable career choice
- and change people's lives for the better. This is our challenge.
We have also learned that there are many Canadians who have invested
years of their lives and tens of thousands of dollars training for
jobs and careers
that do not exist. Talented and hardworking young people with BA's and Diplomas
in disciplines for which there is little or no demand are pouring lattes at
Starbucks or bussing tables at Earl’s wondering how they are going to
pay back their student loans. What a waste!
Can we as Canadians afford this as the baby boomers begin to retire and create
skill shortages? No! This is another challenge.
Students and job seekers deserve access to more and better career planning
information. Serving this interest is a role that we at JobsTVnews have chosen.
The first season has been fun and I extend my thanks to all who participated – our
sponsors and especially my good friends and colleagues who gave generously
of their time and talent to make our show and website better every day. Following,
is a list of all those wonderful companies and organizations who contributed
content and helped make our start up a success.
Yours Very Truly,
