Chairman's Message

Relevance started seven years ago as a way to give high school and post secondary students like you ideas about careers available in Saskatchewan. Today, the magazine reaches 70,000-plus students, parents, teachers and future employees across the province.

Never in our history has it been more important to be informed about the opportunities available. Globalization is on the rise and there is economic uncertainty in many areas, yet Saskatchewan’s economy is strong, with a high demand for educated employees. Gone are the days when individuals could enter the workforce without grade 12.

Post secondary education institutions are working harder to develop courses and programs that are relevant for current and future careers. We realize that it can be difficult to work through all the choices and find a career (and education/training path) that is right for you.

This year’s articles encourage you to push through challenges. We have many opportunities available in our province—if you have the training, education and essential skills.

Use the Job Chart in the middle section. It is an incredibly useful tool that highlights a wide range of careers and the post secondary institutions that can assist you in getting there.

Once again, we have profiled nine dynamic young individuals whose determination to pursue their goals and dreams has allowed them to accomplish great things. We hope their stories help you realize that when it comes to planning your future, there are no boundaries!

Don’t forget to “like us” on our Facebook page for your chance to win an iPod Touch (page 45).

Enjoy Relevance 2012!
