If you still need a ticket, phone Paige ASAP I may have a couple hidden away!

A big thank you to The Gardens at Qualicum Beach and Marketing Manager Julie Chambers for continuing to host the monthly board meetings of the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce. Not only did they let us use their space free of charge, but they also supplied us with coffee and goodies which is most appreciated at that early hour.


Are you an employer in the retail or hospitality industry seeking motivated employees?

Recently 12 enthusiastic individuals started the Ready-SET-Work! program at the Career Centre, whichis a full time, five week, service-excellence program.  Participants will gain employability skills and earn certificates in FoodSafe, Serving It Right, First Aid, WHMIS, Cashier Training and World Host.

Starting November 26, 2016 these individuals will be job ready and employers hiring graduates will receive a 50% wage subsidy for 12 weeks from the Career Centre to support the cost of training on the job.  We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to meet your long term human resource needs and support continuous learning through on the job training and mentorship.

We also want you to be aware, as part of this program, we are hosting a mini hiring fair Monday November 21st from 10:30 to 12:30in Room 328 at the Career Centre. If you are interested in participating in this mini hiring fair or the wage subsidy hiring initiative, please contact Diana Jolly at 250.248.3205 ext. 236 or [email protected].
