Engaging in community events, hiring fairs, and networking initiatives, you’ll play a key role in achieving sustainable employment outcomes and advancing program goals.

The ideal candidate will have a background in Business Administration or Marketing, with at least two years of experience leading teams in fast-paced, performance-driven environments, and a strong foundation in job development, project management, and working with diverse, multi-barriered clients. They will bring strong local labour market knowledge, established business community connections, and proficiency in MS Office and database systems like ICM.
