Job Banks Made Easier

Recent changes to the Portal have included the creation of several “sub-pages” for employment searches. The Major Employers’ Job Postings page provides links to the employment opportunity pages of different employers in the District (some large and some small). Municipal Employment in the Region directs the user to the job posting pages of different communities throughout Northwestern Ontario. These direct links to job posting pages is intended to increase the ease of finding the job out there that is perfect for you. And of course, the Job Banks page still links to the major online databases providing job postings in the Thunder Bay District! So spread the word and tell others to utilize this exciting tool as well!

$9.5 million for Job Training Announced!

Kenora’s MP Greg Rickford announced that $9.5 million will be provided for job training for Aboriginals: “Aboriginal people will get the skills they need to find and keep jobs as a result of projects funded by the Government of Canada.” The Government of Canada is providing over $9.5 million for these projects through its Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy. The Strategy is part of a government-wide approach to help First Nations, Métis and Inuit secure sustainable and meaningful employment.
