Youth employment centre open for season
Friday June 13 2008
 
The Service Canada Centre for Youth (SCCY) in Orangeville is now open to the public. The office is ready to assist businesses and young workers with their summer employment needs.
“Whatever the job — big or small, short- or long-term — we can help you fill it,” says Laura Macfarlane, youth services officer at the Orangeville SCCY. “In the coming weeks, youth services officers will be contacting local employers to make them aware that our SCCY is now open and ready to assist them in any way it can.”
Service Canada Centres for Youth link youth and employers. The centres provide young people with job postings, interview advice, résumé building and job search strategies and employers with a location to post job openings. SCCYs also provide valuable information on health and safety in the workplace.
“There is an ever-increasing demand for a skilled and adaptable workforce,” says Macfarlane. “The skills, talents, knowledge and creativity of our young people are key to our future success. By working with local employers to help young people develop their skills and get valuable summer work experience, we are helping them prepare for the rapidly changing world of work.”
This year, employers interested in using our services and youth looking for summer employment can visit the Orangeville SCCY from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 210 Broadway, call 519-942-3000, fax 519-941-2504, or e-mail laura.e.macfarlane@serv-icecanada.gc.ca. Job postings are available online at www.jobbank.gc.ca.  For more information on Service Canada services for youth visit servicecanada.gc.ca.
