There are lots of jobs in tourism and there will be even more in the next few years. The tourism industry is growing three times as fast as any other industry in Canada. Tourism is an industry where you can take the skills and interests you have and turn them into a job.
Tourists have a desire for cultural experiences and to travel to uncharted lands.
We in the North are in a good position to offer these. Every community in the Northwest Territories can participate in the tourism industry. All eight areas in the tourism industry provide a variety of job opportunities. The types of jobs you can get depend on your education, training, and interests. Cross training means that you are capable of doing more than one specific job and this makes it easier to find work in other areas.
