What is the Career Cruiser
The Career Cruiser is a mobile trailer that has been modified to offer computer workstations and a variety of employment related information to support your career search.
We can facilitate workshops on resume and cover letter writing, interview skills, job search and career exploration. We also provide one on one support to people of all ages.
The Career Cruiser is a Youth Employment Network project, funded by Employment Ontario and managed by the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington.
