Regional Job Fairs ready to welcome job seekers

Starting next week, employers and job seekers will be able to meet face to face at multiple regional job fairs hosted across Grey County.

Job fairs will take place:

• Wednesday, February 22 from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Grey Highlands Secondary School in Flesherton.
• Tuesday, February 28 from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at John Diefenbaker Senior School in Hanover.
• Wednesday, March 1 from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound.
• Thursday, March 2 from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Georgian Bay Community School in Meaford.

“The regional job fairs attract a variety of employers recruiting for a range of positions. These events are a great way for candidates to meet face to face with employers and make an impression,” said Jacinda Rudolph, Grey County Economic Development Officer. “If you’re looking for a job or are considering a change, the Regional Job Fairs are your best chance to discover what opportunities are currently available throughout the region.”

Some of the registered employers include Canada Post, Grey Bruce Health Services, Bluewater District School Board, Pickard Construction, and more. Job seekers are not required to register in advance for the fairs but are encouraged to come prepared and bring copies of their resumes. Those looking for support with their resume or interviewing skills can contact YMCA Employment Services by calling 519-371-9222 or email employment@osgb.ymca.ca.

The Grey County Regional Job Fairs are made possible through collaboration with local partners including County of Grey, YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce, Four County Labour Market Planning Board, Georgian College, Bluewater District School Board, City of Owen Sound, Town of Hanover, Municipality of Meaford, Meaford Chamber of Commerce, and South Grey Chamber.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
