Employer Outreach Program
Comments Off 
We have approximately 81 people that signed up for our Employer Outreach Program. This program focuses on targeting perspective employers as a group. We have sent out flash drives to 5 companies so far. Although we would like to have sent the flash drive out to more companies it has been quite difficult to find companies that are looking to hire. We will continue to look for companies to send the flash drive to in hopes that some of you may gain employment from these efforts.
The intention of putting together a flash drive to send to perspective employers was to help each of you with your job search efforts as a group, but we are also very serious about helping you with your individual job search efforts.
To help you as an individual we have set up many services for you to utilize. We have an Employment Counsellor coming in once a week to meet with you one on one to help you focus on your job search, point you to invaluable resources and even contact employers on your behalf. We have a resume writer that comes in once a week to help you tailor your resume to a specific job posting or field. (You can get as many resumes done as you like) We are also offering a wide range of training workshops to give you skills that you will need to get a job and to be ready for the interview process.
We have found that many of you that have signed up for the Employer Outreach Program have not been coming into the action centre to get help with your individual job search needs. Because of this we are concerned that you may not be as aggressive in your own job search efforts as you could be and may be solely relying on the Employer Outreach Program to find a job. Because of this we will be removing resumes of individuals that have not come into the action centre to work with our counsellors or attend workshops.
We want to make every effort to make sure you are getting the best service possible. If you would like to continue to have your resume sent out on the flash drive it is very important that you call the action centre to make an appointment to see the Employment Counsellor.
If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact us Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10AM to 6PM.
