CareersTV is Canada’s premier television show devoted to covering the world of work. Nobody approaches the world of work the way we do.

CareersTV is about real people in real situations – changing careers, taking risks, quitting their day jobs to pursue their lifelong dreams, re-financing their house and spending their nest egg for a shot at creating the career they’ve always dreamed about.

It’s young entrepreneurs wondering if they’ll survive that crazy first year of business. It’s a 30-year veteran, not yet ready to be put out to the pasture known as retirement, deciding to change careers and kick it all off from the beginning.

Eco-Fashion Summer Rayne Oakes is bringing awareness to environmental and social issues and she is using fashion to do it.

CareersTV also drops in at the Caffè Artigiano in Vancouver, and meets with the popular author of 'Start and Run a Profitable Coffee Bar.'
