On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re reminded that accessibility is more than assistive tools—it’s about removing barriers so everyone can fully participate in the workplace.

For Amy, working as a chairside assistant in a busy dental clinic meant constant communication—with coworkers and patients.

But with hearing impairment, that wasn’t always easy.

With support from WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, Amy was able to access the hearing aids she needed to succeed at work.

The impact was immediate:
“Communication is much better. I can hear coworkers clearly, connect with patients, and understand everything happening around me.”

Amy shares that without this support, getting hearing aids wouldn’t have been possible—and that access has made a meaningful difference in her day-to-day work.

1 in 5 youth say they’re likely to relocate for the right job.

Talent shortages don’t always mean a lack of talent—they can mean looking in the same place.
That means your next great hire might not be local—but they are out there and ready to go where the opportunity is.

Expanding your reach can open the door to motivated candidates who are eager to grow, contribute, and stay.

Connect with your local WorkBC Centre to tap into a wider pool of job-ready youth.

Need fresh ideas? Hire fresh talent.

Young workers don’t just fill roles—they bring new energy, digital know-how, and a different way of thinking.

From spotting trends to trying new approaches, they can help your business stay current and competitive.

Sometimes, a fresh perspective is exactly what your team needs.

Connect with your local WorkBC Centre to meet young job seekers ready to make an impact.

It’s not just about pay.

While compensation matters, many young workers are also looking for meaningful work, growth opportunities, and a positive workplace culture.

Employers who create engaging roles and supportive environments often see stronger motivation, loyalty, and retention from younger employees.

Hiring youth isn’t just filling a role—it’s building a more engaged and future-ready team.

Reach out to your WorkBC Centre to find qualified candidates and get support with your recruitment.

Did you know? Young workers are eager to grow.

There’s a common myth that young workers aren’t growth-oriented—but in reality, many are highly motivated to learn, adapt, and contribute.

When employers offer flexibility and opportunities to build skills, young employees can quickly become valuable, long-term team members.

Investing in youth talent today helps build a stronger workforce for tomorrow.

Connect with your local WorkBC Centre to learn how we can support your hiring needs and help you tap into young talent.

Myth vs Fact!

It is a myth that youth are not interested in full-time work. In fact, fewer youth hold full-time jobs due to the difficulty of securing employment in an evolving labour market.

WorkBC offers free employment services for youth, including career exploration and work experience placements.
