Ottawa, ON – The Registered Veterinary Technologists and Technicians of Canada (RVTTC) are excited to announce the launch of the RVT Career Navigator™, a new and unique bilingual national career planning and advancement website dedicated to Registered Veterinary Technologists/Technicians.
The RVT Career Navigator™ will enable high school students, second career/mature students, students of veterinary technology and RVTs to investigate, explore, and create their own career pathway based on their skills, experience, education, interests and professional goals. With input from an advisory panel of practitioners, provincial veterinary technician associations and other leaders in the field, the RVT Career Navigator™ has the potential to become a key career tool for the RVT profession, now and into the future of this essential and growing profession.
The website was developed with funding from the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Labour Market Partnership program. “Across our province, more than 300,000 jobs are going unfilled every day,” said Monte McNaughton, Ontario’s Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development. “With the right training and skills, more people can find a path to financial independence and a better life which builds stronger communities for us all. I want to thank RVTTC for connecting the registered veterinary technologists and technicians of tomorrow with the information they need to step into a growing profession and exciting career.”
We invite you to explore RVT Career Navigator™ to see how it will inspire and support those passionate about animal health, and position the profession as a career with limitless opportunities.
RVTs contribute to the essential service of veterinary medicine through their extensive skill and knowledge of animal health and understanding of zoonotic diseases. They are an integral part of the animal health care team, helping to ensure the safety of the food chain for Canadians, as well as protecting the human-animal bond by keeping companion animals healthy.
The RVTTC is a not-for-profit organization representing roughly 10,000 RVTs across Canada on national and international issues. Supporting provincial veterinary technician and technologist associations in its mission to unite, advance and strengthen the Registered Veterinary Technician/Technologist profession.
