The career fair is part of a 3-day event being hosted by InclusionBC for youth, employers, and post-secondary educators discuss paths to employment. The goal of the event is to help young people with barriers to employment, discover their potential for existing job opportunities, improve their job-seeking and job-readiness skills, build networks with accessible employers, and take steps towards finding the job they want.

The target audience will be young people with barriers to employment, aged 16-30+ years, who are looking for accessible employment opportunities in B.C. The secondary target is B.C. employers who can benefit by hiring people with diverse skills and abilities.
