WorkLink is on the move.

The burgeoning employment society that services the West Shore to Port Renfrew re-opened the doors at their new 3179 Jacklin Road home Monday, leaving a Sooke Road location where the employment programs were running out of room, said WorkLink executive director Janice Booth.

B次元官网网址淲orklink is very excited to be in our new location,B次元官网网址� Booth said. B次元官网网址淲e know without a doubt we will better serve our clients at our new location. We outgrew our previous Sooke Road facility where we had served our West Shore clients for over 20 years.B次元官网网址�

She said WorkLink takes over a 7,000-square-foot facility, leaving the 4,300-square-foot location behind to better serve approximately 1,500 case-managed job seekers a month. Up to 600 more can drop in on any given month.

B次元官网网址淭his community is growing so fast and we need to be able to grow to meet those growing needs. In our old building we werenB次元官网网址檛 able to accommodate all the needs of the clients coming in,B次元官网网址� said community co-ordinator Jen Harrison.

B次元官网网址淲e were often using our lunch room as a way to swap off into a board room every once in a while and this will finally be a space where we can house our programs.B次元官网网址�

Funded under a Work BC contract, the provincially-funded program now lives on a popular bus route providing quicker transportation, and has an elevator, an expanded research centre, larger group rooms and more private client meeting rooms.

B次元官网网址淲e try to connect people with meaningful employment and we have been serving this community for 35 years,B次元官网网址� Harrison continued. B次元官网网址淭his is the best suited building we have ever had to be able to accommodate employment services in the West Shore.B次元官网网址�
