 I'm currently employed at CRD for the summer and that's an invasive plant program. So we're going around caribou and Chilcotin regions and treating and trying to manage the invasive species found. I was looking for work and I know I wanted to go into natural resource science. I was going to University for it. I saw a posting online through the work BC website and I got work BC employee to come and help me apply and register for the program and it helped make it happen. I provide job search assistance to clients who are looking at getting back to work or who are looking for sustainable employment. JCP is job creation partnership and it's a partnership between the provincial government and employer and the work BC offices in a specific area of the province to carry out a certain project. So our role is to have a look and see if we've got clients that would be suitable for this project for them and have an interest in the field. Those are participants that have been on employment insurance in the last three years or five years if it was a parental claim. They have an interest in the project area. They're motivated to participate in the project and they need some work experience to gain some additional skills. Well the employers come to us with the project so they apply to the provincial government. They come to us and they say okay we have this contract now we need participants. Then we refer them to the employer. The employer does the interview and if they're a successful fit then we do all the paperwork on our end that negotiates that contract with the employer for the of the JCP project. We work to bring people together to be able to stop and prevent the spread of the basic species to our environment and reduce the impacts or economy. We're really specialized at bringing people together so that they can work together to make a difference. Job creation partnership program is one that we looked at because it's a way to address a couple different needs. Across BC there's lots of communities that are wanting to take more active approach on invasive plants and there's not always skilled people out there to be able to do that and it seemed a great match to be able to provide skills and work experience to people. When I first started the job a plant was a plant to me and I didn't know what an invasive plant was and now it's different when I'm walking in the bush or something my eyes are always looking was a really awesome job experience for me. I think collaboration is really vital to this program. I think the fact that the provincial government with their work BC partners and getting people out and getting work experience and then working with a practical employer like ourselves and given skills that are applicable getting new jobs it's a perfect match because we have we have the knowledge about what skills they need they know they need people to get employment and then we link them to a potential employers I mean it's a perfect collaboration. Through this work experience project not only we got skilled people but we also have areas that we've made an improvement in the health of the community. I definitely want to finish school I have started my first year with the Bachelor of Natural Resource Science and I want to finish and go to Masters or PhD eventually. This is definitely more what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go.
