How do I get started?
Where am I on My Path to Employment?
The first step to finding a good job is to think about what you enjoy and what you do well. Talk to people about where these kinds of things happen and what businesses might need people like you.
Remember, everyone’s pathway to employment is different. If you are not sure what you like or what job might be a good fit, that’s okay. You can start by exploring different jobs, visiting workplaces, or talking to people who do those jobs. Some people take classes to learn new skills. Others try jobs out through volunteering or internships. When you know what kind of job you want, you can start talking to employers and applying for jobs.
You don’t have to do this alone
