Beginning in Richmond today, ‘BC Jobs Start Here’ job fairs will travel to 24 communities throughout the province, connecting job seekers face-to-face with potential employers, Premier Christy Clark announced.
Exhibitors at each fair will include select employers from a range of sectors, as well as post-secondary institutions, industry associations, training authorities, and the health authorities.
The interactive ‘BC Jobs Start Here’ mobile exhibit, which toured the province this summer, will also be on hand to provide information about skills training, employment services, job banks and career development tools.
Over the next ten years, there will be over one million job openings in British Columbia, including more than 350,000 new jobs, which will result in a shortage of skilled labour – particularly in the trades. This free event invites members of the public to come and meet local employers and get more information on career development and skills training in B.C.
‘BC Jobs Start Here’ jobs fairs provide opportunities for job seekers, and are organized as part of ‘Canada Starts Here: the BC Jobs Plan’. The BC Jobs Plan promotes economic development and job growth throughout B.C.
Across B.C., new investment has been creating new jobs, so the demand for skilled employees is strong and will only get stronger. The ‘BC Jobs Start Here’ job fairs are helping employers find the right person for the right job – the key to B.C.’s economic success in the years ahead, says Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills
The Job Fair is scheduled to come to Williams Lake on Nov 2nd from 12-7pm at the local Thompson Rivers University Campus - 1250 Western Avenue
