Job Connect is designed for individuals who need help in finding and keeping jobs. Services are available in Hastings, Prince Edward and Lennox & Addington Counties.
Our Community Resource Centre is open to all members of the public. We provide friendly advice about education and training, career planning and job searching.
Through our program:
-
people looking for work can obtain information on careers and occupations, the local job market, training opportunities, and job-search strategies.
-
people who need support in looking for work can receive help with identifying skills, setting goals, developing training plans and job search.
-
employers may be able to reduce costs associated with training a new employee. Job Connect will register job vacancies and help employers find the right person for the job.
The program has three services:
-
The Information and Referral Service in our Community Resource Centre, provides information on careers and occupations, the local labour market, training opportunities and job search strategies.
-
Employment Planning and Preparation helps people to clarify their employment needs, establish short and long term goals, develop an action plan and search for a job.
-
Job Development Placement Supports helps people develop their skills and gain experience through supports such as job trials, volunteer placements, job shadows, subsidized on-the-job training opportunities or direct employment placements.
