There have been several reports of attempts to scam students through fraudulent job postings. Avoid these scams by watching for these warning signs:
You received a job offer without an application or interview
You are offered a job different from the one you applied for
You’re promised high pay for easy work or a limited amount of work hours
You’re being asked to use your bank account to conduct business on behalf of the company
You’re told you have to pay for training, software or materials
You’re asked to use your own money to purchase gift cards or other items of value to send back to the “employer”
Many scammers now have an elaborate website with a matching professional-looking email which makes it difficult to tell if they are legitimate or not. If you have any doubts or questions, please contact Career Services at careerservices@rrc.ca.
They’re baaaack! It’s Career Fair time at RRC Polytech and Career Services wants to help make sure you are ready to put your best foot forward.

OVERVIEW
Pathways to Tech Jobs brings together local educational offerings, with an emphasis on short, tech-focused micro-courses to enable attendees to build upon their existing technology skills. The ultimate goal is to support individuals in qualifying for jobs in tech.
Who is it for? Pathways to Tech Jobs is an informative, fact-finding and networking event targeted to newcomers, Indigenous people and under-employed individuals with basic and/or existing tech skills to assist them in securing quality tech jobs in Manitoba.
Why is it important? We know we have many extraordinary individuals in our community who have tech skills but are either under-employed or struggling to find work because their skill set may not quite match what tech employers are looking for. We have designed a solution by bringing educators and all their short-term tech offerings together in one place, for tech professionals to explore.
