Your Resources for Handling Challenges
1 Activity

No matter how much effort you put into getting ready to pursue your preferred option, you will probably encounter a challenge or two. It makes sense to recognize potential challenges and plan to overcome them.

Those challenges could include

  • funding a post-secondary program
  • child care
  • transportation
  • flexibility from employers or family members
  • accommodations, if you have a disability

Resources

Regardless of your age, stage of life or preferred career path, your most helpful resource is often the people in your network, especially your friends and family.

For other sources of support and assistance in handling challenges, visit myAlbertaSupports.ca. There, you'll find services and benefits for work or training, low income, disabilities, personal safety, homelessness, and more.
