CONTINUING CARE ASSISTANTS ARE IN HIGH DEMAND
Dec 23, 2021
What is a Continuing Care Assistant?
Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs) provide care to seniors and people with
disabilities who may need assistance with daily activities. This can mean
helping with housekeeping, doing meal prep, providing personal care, and
supporting clients during outings in the community. CCAs contribute to the
health care system in an important and powerful way.
Work Opportunities
There are many employment possibilities as a CCA, in a variety of settings such
as:
* Client residences (providing care in the client’s home)
* Long-term care facilities
* Home support agencies
* Acute care hospital departments
* Residential care facilities
Many CCAs work in unionized work environments with full-time hours, health
benefits, and pension benefits. As the aging population in Nova Scotia grows and
the province invests in Continuing Care, CCAs have continued job security in
this rewarding field of work. Top employers currently include the Nova Scotia
Health Authority, Shannex, and VON.
CCAs may also work for private households, and can be self-employed. For more
information on this occupation, visit the sector council website or view on
Explore Careers.
Required Education
To practice in Nova Scotia, CCAs must graduate from an approved program, and
successfully complete the CCA provincial exam.
There are a few different paths to gain your CCA status, and you don’t need to
wait until graduation to apply for jobs. For example, you might be hired at a
facility while you’re still in training. The employer could have you agree to
finish your education within three years. Plus, the provincial government offers
grants to support new CCAs with their education, as do many long-term care
facilities and home care agencies.
An appropriate class of driver's licence may also be required for CCAs who work
in home care.
Interested in Continuing Care as a Career?
We can help. Before pursuing any job or making a career change, you may want to
consider speaking with one of our career practitioners at Nova Scotia Works. To
find a career practitioner, please contact your local Nova Scotia Works centre.

HELPING MORE YOUNG PEOPLE BUILD THEIR CAREER PLAN
Nov 19, 2021
Nova Scotia Works is excited to announce that our School Liaison program has
grown. In partnership with Early Education and Childhood Development (EECD) and
Labour, Skills, and Immigration (LSI), our most recent expansion enables School
Liaisons to support students in 49 schools across the province on their career
journey.
About the School Liason Program
This joint program launched back in 2017, with only 2 School Liaisons involved
at the beginning of the pilot. The vision was to use the services and support of
Nova Scotia Works Employment Service Centres to empower students in charting
their own career course. With this model, parents and supporters would also be
involved and able to help with their student’s career exploration journey.
With expansions in 2018 and 2020, we’ve slowly grown the program since it
launched. Today 20,000+ students and their families/caregivers have access to
services from a NS Works School Liaison.
Our School Liaisons are passionate about helping students reach their career
goals. They can offer support with:
* Exploring jobs and careers available now and in the future
* Accessing labour market information and career planning tools
* Discovering and identify interests, passions, and strengths
* Helping student find jobs or volunteer opportunities that give you experience
* Learning how to conduct an effective job search
* Leading workshops to help parents and caregivers support students
We heard from some School Liaisons about the importance of the program, and its
positive effect on the life of young people in the province.
> "There is no doubt that when students have access to career development
> services within their own environment, it makes a big difference in how they
> begin their career journeys. The knowledge and expertise that NSW School
> Liaisons can provide schools is extremely valuable in supporting the entire
> student body, not just the ones who engage in career development electives or
> co-op and O2 programs." - Charlene Tasco, Opportunity Place
>
> "The expansion of the School Liaison program excites me because it promotes
> the importance of making career conversations a priority in helping our youth
> prepare for the future labour market. As the program continues to expand
> across the province, I am excited about the increased opportunities this
> program will have for the students and the future of our province, where more
> young Nova Scotians can live and work at home." - Tracey MacMullin, NEDAC
If you are a student or caregiver at one of the schools below, please connect
with a teacher or guidance counsellor to find out more about the program. You
can also get support directly at your local NSW Employment Centre.

MAJOR CONSTRUCTION ON CAPE BRETON-UNAMA’KI PROVIDES JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Sep 16, 2021
A historic investment is currently underway on Cape Breton-Unama’ki. In fact,
it’s the single largest investment in public infrastructure ever on the island.
With five major projects on the go, these upcoming changes are not only creating
jobs for construction workers — the island will also see improved healthcare and
education infrastructure, and direct benefits for the local economy.
Construction is Cape Breton-Unama’ki’s 4th largest industry, and it’s growing
steadily (over 1,000 new workers joined in May, June, July 2021 alone). These
current projects alone are estimated to create nearly 800 stable, full-time jobs
in construction. The contracts say that employers must hire local apprentices
and workers, focusing on under-represented groups in the industry like women,
Indigenous folks, and African Nova Scotians. While this is great for encouraging
diversity, there are also opportunities for new folks to join the field due to
the small local labour force on the island.
Building Tomorrow is a campaign from the Cape Breton Partnership highlighting
the five major projects underway that will revitalize the Island and put more
people to work. Here are the five developments currently in progress.
1. Nova Scotia Community College’s Marconi Campus: Work on NSCC’s Sydney campus
started in 2020. The new campus will have a modern look, with lots of open
space and state-of-the-art technology. It will also follow accessibility and
environmental design guidelines.
2. Expansions for Cape Breton Regional Hospital: This hospital has served as
the main referral and trauma centre for the island since it opened in 1995.
The expansion will make room for a larger emergency department, cancer
centre and critical care department.
3. New Waterford Community Hub: A contemporary health centre is coming to the
New Waterford area, complete with 60 beds for long-term care, 12 short-stay
beds and a school. The community hub will create hands-on learning
opportunities for students in healthcare.
4. Northside Health Complex: This community hospital has been around since
1954, and currently serves North Sydney, Sydney Mines and surrounding areas.
The redevelopment will provide residents with a modern health centre and
60-bed long-term care home.
5. Glace Bay Hospital: Open since 1986, the Glace Bay community hospital serves
Glace Bay, Dominion, Reserve Mines, Donkin, Port Morien, and nearby areas.
The renovations aim to increase space in a newly opened Renal Dialysis
clinic by 30%.
If you’re looking for a job in construction, Cape Breton-Unama’ki, could be a
great destination for you. With beautiful natural scenery and a growing number
of opportunities in the area, it’s worth considering.
To learn more about the area, check out our regional profile on the island. Or
to chat with a certified career practitioner, contact or visit your local Nova
Scotia Works centre.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: WHAT’S CHANGING AND HOW WE CAN HELP
Oct 14, 2021
Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) are key to Nova Scotia’s modern-day society.
Helping to set up children for success, ECEs play a pivotal role in the early
stage of their lives.
Research shows that this success rate is directly linked to time spent with
highly educated and well-trained ECEs. That’s why this sector is launching a
workforce development strategy over the next few years to enhance training
called “Excellence in Early Childhood Education.”
What is the plan?
According to the Nova Scotia Government, the goal of this strategy is to “ensure
a strong, qualified and stable workforce in early learning and childcare now and
into the future.” The plan aims to highlight the value of this role, by
professionally recognizing current ECEs and increasing educational opportunities
for those who may need it. The hope is that this will result in both improved
practice and higher wages.
The sector also wants to attract new people to the field, providing more
opportunities for under-represented groups such as Mi’kmaq/Indigenous,
Black/African Nova Scotian, Acadian/Francophone, 2SLGBTQ+, persons with
disabilities, and newcomers.
“Nova Scotia recognizes the importance of diversity in early learning and
childcare, and the power that comes from children and their families seeing
themselves and their communities reflected in their ECEs.”
What does it mean for me?
Right now, anyone working in childcare or pre-primary is referred to as an ECE.
This is about to change, as the government introduces a regulated certification
system. By the end of 2023, only people with recognized diplomas and degrees in
the field will have responsibility for early childhood educational leadership.
As the sector moves towards this big shift, the government will provide
opportunities for individuals without a diploma or degree to advance their
career. For those who are just entering their studies in the field, this
educational requirement will apply as well.
There are additional supports for both students and current ECEs coming with
this strategy, such as:
* Various bursaries for students at approved ECE diploma/degree programs in the
province.
* Funding for current ECEs to participate in this initiative, to help cover
fees for assessments and exams.
* Supports to help high school students explore early childhood education
careers as an option for the future.
How we can help
This ever-changing field can be challenging to navigate. If you are a current
ECE working in childcare or pre-primary and are looking to develop your career
path, Nova Scotia Works can help. Our Career Navigators will assist with you
with making a plan, and can support you while you’re studying too.
To find a Career Navigation Specialist, please contact your local NS Works
Centre.

BLENDED SERVICES: HOW WE’VE PIVOTED DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
Sep 14, 2021
The pandemic brought forward significant disruptions for many industries across
the province, including employment services. When Nova Scotia Centres across the
province were forced to close their doors for the initial shutdown in March
2020, they had to adapt to find new ways to interact with their clients.
Things changed quickly. Paperwork once filled out on clipboards was collected
online. 1-on-1 client meetings that previously happened in staff offices
transitioned to phone calls or video conferences. Workshops that brought job
seekers together in meeting rooms shifted to interactive webinars or
pre-recorded online courses.
Going fully virtual didn’t last long though. We adopted a blended model as
restrictions lessened, offering both online and in-person services. Clients who
were able to use remote services continued to do so, and clients who needed
in-person supports were able to visit the office once again (with health and
safety in mind). This approach proved very beneficial as the province moved back
and forth through various phases and levels of restrictions in late 2020
throughout 2021.
While making this transition took some trial and error to be successful, both
staff and clients realized there are benefits to keeping this model into the
future. We can serve our clients better by continuing with a blended services
model at Nova Scotia Works.
Here are just some reasons why offering services online is helpful:
* Clients who face transportation challenges can call or log in from the
comfort of their own home.
* It’s now possible to participate in workshops at any time, Clients with less
flexible schedules are now able to participate in workshops at any time, with
the help of webinar recordings or specialized learning modules.
* Staff placed a greater focus on accessibility as they adapted their forms,
materials and tools for a wider audience.
The COVID-19 pandemic will undoubtedly leave lasting impacts on the world of
looking for work, and Nova Scotia Works centres remain committed to serving you
in the best way possible. Whether you prefer to come to our offices in person,
access services remotely, or a combination of the two, your career experts are
always just a call, email or visit away.

THE SERVICES SECTOR IS BOUNCING BACK
Mar 15, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted every industry across the country, in one way or
another. With public health measures regularly shifting, it has been a difficult
time for the economy. The services sector, which accounted for over 80% of
provincial employment, was hit particularly hard. The main employer sectors are
Retail, Healthcare and Social Services, Educational Services, Professional,
Scientific and Technical Services.
Thankfully, that is changing in Nova Scotia right now. The province’s case
counts are down again, and our current vaccination rate shows that we have
reached Phase 5 of Nova Scotia’s reopening plan in September. This means little
to no restrictions for the services sector, and an increasing demand from
clientele.
The progress has already started. While it hasn’t reached pre-pandemic levels
yet, the services industry is on its way to recovery. June’s NS Labour Force
Survey found that the sector has actually recovered over 80% of its job loss
from the third lockdown in May. That’s 18,000 jobs in June alone. The two top
expanding industries from the survey were Wholesale and Retail Trade (+7,700
jobs) and Transportation and Warehousing (+2,700 jobs).
As demand continues to rise and the economy strengthens, the sector is expected
to build up even more. The future holds more jobs, and more opportunities. Some
of these businesses, like restaurants, are even struggling with staffing
shortages right now. So whether you are returning to work, or just entering the
workforce, the services sector could be an excellent place to start your job
hunt.
We can help. Check out the job search tool to browse employment postings, or
contact a certified career development practitioner to get help with interview
prep, resume advice and more.
