Successful career fairs
“You don’t have to be a burger to join our family,” states the food tray placemat at an A & W restaurant I was dining at recently. This is just another sign of how innovative employee recruitment programs have become for businesses in the food service sectors and beyond.

Finding the perfect job The potential for jobs is everchanging. From job shortages to economic booms, labour markets can shift drastically. The Kootenay Wage Subsidy Program is doing wonders for people who need assistance in finding employment. This regional program is administered through the Greater Trail Community Skills Centre and the Ashland Training Centre and operates in Trail, Nelson and Castlegar. The program is funded by Service Canada through employment insurance funds and it serves to support individuals who are or have been on employment insurance (EI) and need assistance in getting training and finding stable employment. It also rewards employers committed to creating ongoing employment for new employees.
