A new online portal has been launched to cater to job seekers in Bruce, Grey, Huron and Perth counties.
The Four County Labour Market Planning Board says in a release connect2JOBS.ca is a new website that pulls vacancies for the region into one place for easy access. This will allow job seekers in the region to visit one portal, instead of browsing multiple sites to find employment opportunities in Bruce, Grey, Huron and Perth.
“This new aggregate job vacancy website will allow job seekers in the four county region to search for jobs, research careers, and identify top postings in different industries and locations across the four county region,” says Gemma Mendez-Smith, Executive Director of the Planning Board. “The ability to have one centralized tool, instead of the need to search on multiple sites, will make it easier for local job seekers to see what is available and where they would like to apply for work in the desired community.”
The Four County Labour Market Planning Board says this type of multi-function website was identified as a key job search necessity for the region.
The site is updated daily with new postings from 18 national, provincial and local job boards.
Currently, hundreds of active job openings in Grey, Bruce, Huron and Perth counties are posted on it.
In addition the the jobs board, the new site also includes a mapping tool to where job postings are located in relation to important services such as childcare or transportation routes in the area. There is also a research tool to help find information about in-demand jobs by showing detailed career profiles such as wages, required skills and paths for growth.
The Planning Board has also created an instructional video that will help users to understand all aspects of the platform. You can find that here.
