Reboot Plus
Reboot Plus is a youth education and career development program delivered in partnership by Douglas College and PEERs Employment and Education Resources, with support from the Burnaby Board of Trade.
The Burnaby Board of Trade is proud to be a partner of the Reboot Plus Program, which aims to help vulnerable youth develop career paths so they can be a successful part of our local workforce.
The Burnaby Board of Trade is seeking professionals and business owners who are willing to offer their time for 30-60-minute informational interviews to help provide these youth with ideas, inspiration and information about possible career options. Youth participants obtain an understanding of their careers of interest and the world of work, build confidence speaking to professionals, and begin to develop a network — all things which will help them become successful parts of our future workforce!
How to Get Involved
We are looking for professionals from a broad range of occupations who are willing to give 30 – 60 minutes and share about their career or sector.
In these informational interviews, professionals will share their own career development experiences and provide career insights, a sense of the current labour market, and an idea of the skills, education and experience required to join their sector.
A member of the Reboot Plus Program team connects with each professional to provide information and guidance on the youth and the interview process. The feedback from professionals has been remarkably positive — this is an engaging experience and we invite you to get involved!
