At Vecova, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to find meaningful employment and feel confident navigating their career journey. That’s why we’re excited to partner with the Calgary Public Library to present our upcoming Job Readiness Fair an informative, hands-on event designed to support newcomers to Canada as they take the next steps toward employment.

This event is all about building practical skills and creating meaningful connections. Whether you’re just starting your job search or looking to improve your approach, the Job Readiness Fair offers a welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and grow your confidence. This is a hands-on event designed to support newcomers and immigrants to Canada as they build confidence, strengthen job search skills, and take the next steps toward meaningful employment.
