Ever thought about a career in Early Childhood Education or childcare?

Whether you're an experienced ECE, just starting out, or simply have a passion for helping children learn and grow, this event is for you.

Join North Island Crisis and Counselling Centre Society and WorkBC Centre-Port Hardy in Port McNeill on Wednesday, August 5, from 1:00–4:00 p.m. for this unique North Island hiring event.

Meet local employers, learn about career opportunities, and discover the many pathways into this rewarding field. 

You don't need years of experience, just an interest in making a difference in the lives of children and families.

Join WorkBC Centre-Port Hardy as an employer exhibitor at this exciting community event coming to Chilton Arena in Port McNeill Friday, September 25th, 10 am - 3 pm.

This is an opportunity for North Island job seekers/community members to get a hands on sense of the types of opportunities available across the region. We'd love to see employers from many sectors represented. (think trades, tourism, health care, agriculture, mining, forestry, food and beverage, finance, and more)

Presented in proud partnership with the Town of Port McNeill, SkilledTradesBC, and Community Futures Mount Waddington.
