A new series of ‘BC Jobs Start Here’ job fairs will visit 22 communities, including 100 Mile House, beginning this month to promote current job opportunities, career trends and skills training – with the addition of a new Skills4BC booth.
The new fairs will begin in Pitt Meadows on Jan. 22 and wrap up in Vancouver on March 28.
The 100 Mile House visit will be on March 7 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Horton Ventures Work BC Community Employment Services will be host the local fair.
These new fairs are a continuation of the 24 events held in communities throughout British Columbia between September and November 2012, where more than 31,000 British Columbians of all ages attended, from secondary school students to older workers looking to re-enter the workforce.
A new ‘Skills4BC’ booth will be onsite at each job fair, with staff to answer questions and share information on skills training in B.C.
Exhibitors at each fair will also include employers from a range of sectors, including post-secondary institutions, training authorities, industry associations and health authorities, as well as local WorkBC
