TIMMINS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO PROACTIVELY ASSIST EMPLOYERS WITH WORKFORCE NEEDS

TIMMINS, ON:

The Timmins Economic Development Corporation (TEDC), in partnership with the Timmins Local Immigration Partnership (TLIP), has initiated an Employer Ambassador Program which is leading the way to the development of an Employers Council to assist in addressing current and future labour shortages. The Employer Council will bring local employers together to collectively develop employer-driven strategies designed to reduce barriers, create understanding, and build capacity to address workforce trends.

Stemming from recommendations from the Employer Council, jobsintimmins.com has been redeveloped to become a central source for information on available employment opportunities in the City of Timmins. With a new look and enhanced functionality, jobsintimmins.com can become an integral part of promoting vacancies and new positions within your company at no cost. Employers looking to post a job simply have to create a profile and submit the information. Whether you are seeking employment or seeking employees, jobsintimmins.com is the first place to go.

For additional information on the jobsintimmins.com website, please contact James Parisi at (705) 360-2600 ext. 7079 or email james.parisi@timmins.ca
