Nova Scotia Works Schools Liaisons (NSWSLs) & Let's Talk Careers

• access to and understanding of Labour Market Information

• delivery of workshops and sessions (one-on-one or group sessions), related to career planning and labour market information, both virtually and in-person
• delivery of workshops and sessions for schools, community groups, families, workplaces and other both at the school and in the community
