People seeking employment in Nanaimo and elsewhere will find a whole host of opportunities at a job fair later this month.

B.C. Corrections and Black Press Media are presenting the Nanaimo Career and Post-Secondary Education Event at Country Club Centre on Thursday, Aug. 25.

A Government of Canada labour market bulletin at the start of summer noted that B.C. is B次元官网网址渆xperiencing an acute labour shortage in many key sectors.B次元官网网址�

Ranee Pal, Black Press Media events manager, said holding an in-person career fair is viable again.

B次元官网网址淲hen the pandemic hit, we had to pivot to a virtual, online platform to host these events, which worked during the pandemic, but we were eager to get back to in-person because, letB次元官网网址檚 face it, when youB次元官网网址檙e sitting behind the computer and looking for a job, it can be difficult, a little daunting,B次元官网网址� said Pal. B次元官网网址淭he face-to-face interactions with businesses and post-secondary schools is very important, not only for employers, but for job seekers as well.B次元官网网址�

Those who attend the event will not only have access to potential employers, but also universities and colleges, all of which can be beneficial, explained Pal.

B次元官网网址淲e hear so many remarkable stories about the connections people make at our career and education events B次元官网网址� and how the people they meet and programs they discover open doors to options they hadnB次元官网网址檛 even considered before,B次元官网网址� she said.

The fair takes place at the mall at 3200 North Island Hwy, on Thursday, Aug. 25 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
