Part III - Leadership Series Breakfast

Part III - Leadership Series Breakfast 
Connecting Job Seekers with Employers 

Honourable Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction

We all want people to have the support they need to find-and fill- in-demand jobs and build stronger futures for themselves and their families.

BC is funding more training to help people gain the practical skills and work experience they need to move toward good-paying jobs, supporting the Provinces Look West strategy, and responding to layoffs in softwood lumber and other tariff-impacted sectors.

In partnership, we’re also delivering hands-on training and real work experience for people facing barriers to employment, and those on income assistance.

Come and learn what provincial employment programs community members can participate in  - as trainees or employers – through our WorkBC centres and three new programs my ministry announced this spring.  And I’d love to hear your stories about how a job and community connections can help people with complex needs.
