Meet Corry Pepper! She is a Program Coordinator for the Whitecourt area.
Tell us how you are filling your time and your story could be shared!Here is how Corry is spending her time:How are you keeping busy?Hi! Been busy working on training provided by a coworker. I’ve also been taking mental health breaks by creating pottery in my home studio. Being a very extrovert personality this isolation is a challenge for me. Grateful for technology to facetime with friends family and a few stakeholder relationships made along the way with CAREERS.
I've been continuing to set up opportunity with current applications with stakeholders committed to take RAP students for summer placements. And following up with people, sharing that we are here for them during this uncertain times. Again, grateful for technology to keep communication open to our stakeholders and our students. I can’t stress enough how much I miss going to schools to connect students with knowledge of opportunities for their future career paths.
Fun Fact:I just disinfected my old hobby supplies to start the process of making wine. Will be sure to share when they are perfectly fermented😊Stay healthy (both physically and mentally) peeps

Everyone is trying to keep busy and healthy during these times so we figured we'd share how our team is doing so! How are you keeping busy? Are you sharpening any skills? Maybe learning some new ones? Share your story with us and it could be featured. 🙂 Here is Arlene Lauer-Krueger-
Bitmoji style.
She is our Capital Region Manager.How are you keeping busy?Working from home definitely allows for life balance. Family wakes up to fresh cinnamon rolls in the morning (photo evidence supplied). Working on some training, email management, dealing with questions and concerns from team members, employers, students, schools and parents. At the end of the day, I consciously make the effort to go for a walk to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and the brisk chill of the remaining winter weather- reminds me that I need to be grateful.Why did you become a CAREERS team member?My favourite part of the job for me is the people, the CAREERS team as well as ALL the great people I have met at events, in the schools, and in the business community. This career choice was a great fit for me, I like to coach and teach, and share my experience and knowledge with youth. Every young person needs someone to believe in them and what they can achieve. They don’t know, what they don’t know… so I want to help them with that by providing awareness, exploration, and hopefully an opportunity to experience what the working world has waiting for them.Fun Fact:I love poetry and writing- I used to have a column in a newspaper, I also love a great cup of coffee and a good joke that makes you belly laugh - check out the last pic.

Like many of you out there, CAREERS has been forced to make some tough decisions. Fear not! We will be back up and running as soon as it's safe to do so. In the meantime, CAREERS team members are working from home, so DM us if you have questions or comments. #covid_19 #stayhealthy #doingourpart
