Princeton…. we have counted 46 Local Jobs on our WorkBC job board.  Many employers are getting set to hire for SPRING and SUMMER, so it is only going to get BETTER!

Also, remember the Envirogreen Technologies job fair on Thursday March 8, 2018 from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.

Stop in next week, and have a look around at all the good news!! 

Its kinda our thing… we are curious about…. JOBS!  We have rolled up our sleeves and looking for the latest information on our local JOBS! Keeping our knowledge sharp, and our finger on the “Pulse” of Princeton’s Labour Market, we are making calls, meeting with local employers, and hoping to gather a snapshot of Princeton’s Vibrant & Diverse Employment scene.

We are asking questions like:

1. How many jobs are available in these sectors?
   • Mining, Forestry, Production, Hospitality, Health Care, Construction, Professional Services, Social Services and Government? 
2. What are the types of jobs? What jobs are in demand now? 
3. What is the average wage?
4. What does a typical work day look like?
5. What training or skills are they looking for in their applicants resume?
6. What is the
7. Whats the Hiring and Interviewing Process?

Soo there you have it… what we have been up to… nothing fancy, just working the local employers, asking questions, and making great connections!

For more information pop into our WORK BC Centre for the latest trends and opportunities in Employment!

Check out WORK BC’s Website for a more Provincial snapshot of the Labour Market.

Our Local and Regional Labour Markets are experiencing a desperate need for Licensed Drivers.  Class 1, 2 3, and 5 licenses are in demand!!!  Even entry level production workers need to produce a drivers license… WHY would you need a drivers license to be in production??? Well it is what the license says… it tells employers that you have maintained a level of wellness to protect your license, and it indicates that your life has been managed somewhat.  So our best advice moving into employment is to obtain a license ASAP, and PROTECT it! Get studying for your learners as fast as humanly possible… make the commitment to practice, and for heavens sake… keep the darn thing VALID! Check out the link for more info!
