I know a little bit about it, its career transition training via seminars and training. So for people that are stuck in a currently tough or struggling segment, its not a bad idea, and its also probably a really good network opportunity.

They also have the Grizzly Den where you can work on your pitches, or interview skills with business leaders in Calgary.

I don't think it can hurt to polish how you market yourself and do asymmetrical job searching. I've heard some good things about their outplacement services for companies that are laying off and want to offer career transition help.

Expect a lot of coaching outside of the usual resume and interview skills polishing. More around the idea of tearing yourself down and finding what you really want to do, how you can create your narrative to get there and how to get your name out. I've heard that their training can be pretty intense and heavy on self diagnosis and reflection.

But the government is paying for it, so there's no harm in doing it.
