NIEFS All-day Industry Event - Thurs, Feb 16th

All-day Industry Event

You are invited to attend the All-day Industry Event on Thurs, Feb 16th onsite at NIEFS in Campbell River.

This is an excellent opportunity for job seekers to connect directly with industry representatives who can provide a wealth of information related to their industry and operation.

NIEFS provides a wide variety of services that assist people who are looking for work. It is our mission here at NIEFS to assist unemployed people to find work or get the skills they need for employment. In addition, we help employers find the right people, with the right skills at the right time. Our All-day Industry Forum is our way of bringing the two together.

For more information or to register contact NIEFS at (250) 286-3441.
