Work
Info session for employers July 24

Enterprise Saint John is hosting an information session for employers interested in taking part in the next round of TIES 2 Work, a new training-to-employment project. Job candidates are pre-screened and selected by employers before they begin 12 weeks of classroom and on-site training and, in return, are promised a full- time job that pays at least $10 an hour. Pilot program organizers hope to involve 24 unemployed adults in the project annually for three years, with funding from the provincial Department of Post-Secondary Education. The information session will be held on Friday, July 24, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Business Resource Centre, 40 King St. Coffee and light refreshments will be served. RSVP to hchase@enterprisesj.com by Wednesday, July 22.
