Did You Take the Survey?

Self-employment is one option for career practitioners to explore with their clients. As such, Life Strategies is exploring whether or not career practitioners see self-employment as a viable option for clients, how they present self-employment as an option to clients, how knowledgeable they are about self-employment themselves, and how they engage in learning about self-employment.

We invite career practitioners to participate in this 20-minute survey to share their thoughts on self-employment. To access the survey, go to

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/876SRJS. The survey will be available until midnight December 18th.

All responses are anonymous and will remain completely confidential; however, as the research findings will be reported in an academic article, you can opt to permit Life Strategies to use quotations from your responses. Permission to use quotations, either with or without name, can be provided on the last survey question. If you haven't specifically indicated permission, direct quotations will not be used.

This webinar is no charge to members as a pilot/test of the BCCDA integrating webinar training into our services for practitioner members.

PRESENTER: Gregg Taylor, CCDP, CHRP, As President of the BCCDA and having managed funded programs himself for many years, Gregg has been actively engaged in the BC Employment Program Business Transformation process and assessing it's impact.
