Canada has no domestic automakers but plenty of auto parts suppliers. Could they band together to create the next all-Canadian, zero-emissions vehicle? We speak with Greg Layson of Automotive News Canada to find out. Frontier College's literacy programming has been a big hit in Rigolet this summer. We hear from the participants and people working with the program. We speak with community organizer Robert Smith about Better Together, a cooperative based in L'Anse au Loup and Montreal, which brings people together to share knowledge, skills, and resources. Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh was in the province yesterday to unofficially launch the NDP's campaign in anticipation of an election call this weekend. We hear him speak about the upcoming campaign and the Muskrat Falls rate mitigation deal recently announced by the provincial and federal governments. It's Friday, so we're hanging with the Waynes to hear their film and book selections for the week. Finally, some Canadian companies are asking workers to be fully vaccinated before returning to in-person work. We hear from workplace columnist Rubina Ahmed-Haq on how this mandate may work.

Olá, pessoal! Estamos de volta com o VTcast! Nesta semana, bati um papo com Paulo Carvalho, amigo de longa data que já foi meu colega em diversos trabalhos voluntários, e foi exatamente sobre essas experiências que conversamos. Paulo é hoje líder de um time de Vendas na Neoway e, na época em que gravamos este episódio, ainda em 2020, ele trabalhava na Lee Hecht Harrison, ou LHH, uma consultoria de Recursos Humanos. Paulo já foi voluntário na AIESEC, Fundação Estudar, Empresa Júnior, ABRH, Movimento Choice e mais um monte de lugares. De minha parte, já fui voluntária na AIESEC, ABRH, Instituto Viva Lendo, Frontier College e Junior Achievement, entre outros. A ideia foi mostrar todas as habilidades, networking e bagagem que você adquire ao atuar de forma consistente em projetos voluntários. E, quem sabe assim, inspirar vocês para seguirem o nosso exemplo. Olha só algumas das perguntas que fiz para Paulo: Como foi o seu primeiro trabalho voluntário? Em qual trabalho você mais se envolveu e mais se supreendeu com os resultados? Qual trabalho voluntário foi mais divertido? Que habilidades você desenvolveu no trabalho voluntário? Como o trabalho voluntário influenciou e contribuiu para a sua carreira? Por que você acha que todos deveriam fazer trabalho voluntário? Para quem nunca fez trabalho voluntário, por onde começar? Você quer participar do VTcast? Estou iniciando um quadro novo, em que as pessoas me mandam um áudio com a sua dúvida, e eu respondo aqui no VTcast. Para enviar o áudio, basta mandar uma mensagem para o Vida de Trainee pelo Instagram. O VTcast está disponível gratuitamente no Deezer, Spotify, Soundcloud e no seu aplicativo de podcasts favorito!
