The Labour Market Group (LMG) in partnership with Passport to Prosperity, Canadore College, North Bay and District Chamber of Commerce and the Nipissing-Parry Sound Business Centre is pleased to announce a conference for high school students highlighting local in-demand career possibilities.
This full day event will be held at Canadore College, College Drive Campus, North Bay, on Tuesday May 11, 2010 starting at 10:00am.

Louise Lowe, Labour Market Group’s Project Coordinator explains “We are expecting 240 grade 10 students from four local school boards to attend. Each student will have an opportunity to listen to 3 of 18 guest speakers as well as have a guided tour of Canadore College. Our guest speakers are local employers and employees who have generously committed their time to talk to the students about experiences in their specific field, education and training requirements and possible career opportunities”

“This career conference is a follow up to The Labour Market Group’s North Bay Labour Market Initiative released late spring 2009. We are really excited to be able to take key findings from this report and relay the information to our up and coming workforce in a way that the students have requested” states Andrea Stoppa, Executive Assistant at the Labour Market Group. “Unfortunately, there is a misconception that there are no jobs for our youth in North Bay. We not only want these students to know that there are jobs for them here but where the expected demands will be once they graduate.

The Labour Market Group is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and is part of the Employment Ontario Network.
