The Work Behind the Scenes Continues…

With all that ACTION in the last few weeks in the Princeton Labour Market and Job Opportunities at an all-time high … the foot traffic in our centre is QUIET, that’s for sure. It’s a smattering of job seekers in comparison to job postings. 

Furthermore it’s a sweltering 35+plus degrees out and most people are job searching on a beach!  What we call networking some call… well you get the picture! If you want to be working you could be! 

While you are out in the sun, you will find us BUSTIN a Move behind the scenes… Its R-F-P  (Request For Proposal) season in Employment Services, and that landscape is ripe with Skills Centre business for the next few months. In addition we are putting together the fall calendar, and talking to Industry about their training needs so we can produce some excellent training for our local Work Force.

~Working on our collective Employment , Skills, and Training future.~
