Employment and Job Fair Today

More than 50 businesses and organizations are taking part in the first ever North Okanagan Shuswap Employment and Business Fair today in Enderby.

“We are very excited to be part of such an incredible collaboration and to bring so much opportunity under one roof. It’s amazing,” says Ali Maki, executive director, Enderby & District Chamber of Commerce. “Whether you are looking for a job, a career change or educational opportunities—or you’re showcasing your business, there is plenty to see and learn.”

The event is organized by the Splatsin Development Corporation, Enderby and District Chamber of Commerce and the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, along with support from Nexus BC and Community Futures North Okanagan. It’s designed to give prospective employees a chance to learn more about specific companies as well as future opportunities and how to secure those jobs.

“This can be anything from training to what they look for on a resumé to how they expect their employees to conduct themselves, etc. Employers, in turn, will get a sense of what job-seekers have to offer and are looking for,” says Connie Viszlai, business services advisor, Community Futures North Okanagan.
