Hi my name is Big Cat! I am a burly, charismatic boy who wastes no time in getting to know you. I am rather dashing with my ivory paw and locket set against a liquid ebony coat. I don’t let my sleek looks go to my head though — I am a chatty, friendly fellow who loves cuddles and playtime. Tummy rubs and cheek scratches are easily among my favourite things; honeysuckle toys and laser lights bring out my inner athlete. I am ready to grace my forever home with my portly presence — come meet me!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I just lost my job as a manager of a video store. I would like to find a new career with better pay, but I can’t afford to spend four years in school. What are my options? Signed, Want to Work Dear Want:

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Spending four years studying for a new career can be difficult for some people—especially those who are working on their second or third career. Mortgages and family commitments can make a lengthy return to school nearly impossible.
If you are looking for job-specific training, you might want to investigate training options at Alberta’s many colleges and technical institutes. They offer programs that can range in length from four months to one year. They also offer online- and distance-learning courses, which allow you to work while you upgrade your skills. There are also many private vocation schools and colleges that offer short-term training for specific careers. Earning your Class-one license, for example, can take between four and six weeks depending on your experience. And class-one drivers can earn between $17 and $50 per hour depending on the industry they work in, how much experience they have, and how far they drive from home. You might also want to consider a career in one of Alberta’s 50 registered trades. Registered Apprentices spend about 80 per cent of their time earning a paycheck while they learn on the job. For more information on the wide variety of career options in the trades, check out http://tradesecrets.alberta.ca. Alberta Occupational Profiles (OCCinfo) is a database of more than 500 careers that you can search by job title, industry, subject and interest. You can also use the database’s advanced search by anticipated demand, physical strength required, and required training. I performed a quick search of careers that require one year or less of post-secondary training and found more than 300 occupations. You can try searching the database yourself at: www.alis.gov.ab.ca/occinfo. Here are just a few examples of careers that require a year or less of formal training. Accounting Technicians require a high school diploma and earn $24.57 per hour on average. Sterile Processing Technicians need a high school diploma and earn $20.32 per hour on average. Bus Drivers with a high school diploma, earn $24.76 per hour on average, and often receive their driver training from their employer. One final suggestion is to check the Canada-Alberta Job Bank www.jobbank.gc.ca and your local help-wanted ads for job postings that interest you. You can then use the Occinfo database to find out what the position salary and educational requirements are. For more information on quick careers: • Call the Alberta Career Information Hotline toll-free at 1-800-661-3753; or • Visit your nearest Alberta Works Office and ask to speak to a Career and Employment Consultant. You can find your nearest Alberta Works Office by clicking on http://humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. Good luck! MY JOB FINDER ALBERTA JOB OPPORTUNITIES 15
