ResourcesThese Careers Pay Solid Salaries, Even While You’re Training Looking for high paying jobs in Ontario? Some skilled trades careers have starting salaries of more than $70,000! by Stacy Lee KongFeb 3, 2020 It’s increasingly difficult for Canadians to make a good living. According to a Statistics Canada report released in September 2019, more and more workers hold low-paying jobs; in fact, "between 1998 and 2018, the proportion of employees earning minimum wage grew from 5.2% to 10.4%, with most of that growth occurring between 2017 and 2018.”
We are thrilled to announce a new funding opportunity, in partnership with Mental Health Research Canada. Together, we are offering three grants valued at up to $100,000 each, to explore the use of technology to enhance or support child and youth mental health in Ontario — and, ideally, beyond!
We are convinced that, in today's digital world, there are undiscovered or underexploited technological solutions for many of the barriers and challenges that Ontario's children, youth and families face as they seek mental health help. That's why we're calling on researchers and innovators in our sector who would like to test out their big ideas! We're looking to fund three projects that advance innovative, evidence-based digital solutions and have the potential for broad impact. As such, priority will be given to proposals that have the potential for scaling within and beyond the province of Ontario. You have until April 5 to apply! To learn more about this opportunity, including the terms of the grant and eligibility, or to apply, please visit mhrc.ca

Purpose can infuse peoples’ lives with a heightened sense of motivation, relevance, and direction, especially if they are able to view school and community engagement as pathways to fulfilling occupational goals (Koshy & Mariano, 2011). In the current age of school accountability and reform, there is greater emphasis on college and career-readiness. But school counselors also can improve services related to college and career readiness by helping students identify their life’s purpose. Having a purpose can be highly motivating and encourage students to develop skills and persistence towards meaningful education, life, and career goals.
