Job Matching, Placements & Incentives (JMPI):

Hiring time and costs are often the biggest obstacles when it comes to finding the right employees. We can help match your job opportunities with qualified candidates and build successful working relationships. Employers may also take advantage of our training incentives to support on-the-job training opportunities.

Apprenticeships:

Prepare for the Future and invest in our Youth! 

As many tradespeople are nearing retirement, it is good to be prepared. By hiring an apprentice, your business becomes eligible for various tax credits, grants and bonuses, not to mention you can mold the new staff to ensure they are a good fit for your company. A $2000 Apprenticeship Employer Signing Bonus (AESB) is available to sponsors who train as part our JMPI program.
