Southeast College, the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of the Economy are hosting a business breakfast on Thursday, March 26, 2015 for businesses who would like to learn more about the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant Program.
"This is a chance for us to get together with some of our valued partners in the region and explain how the College can be an integral part of labour solutions," said Southeast College Vice President of Strategic Development Jeff Richards.
"The College is committed to being a responsive and flexible trainer of choice for our region, and we are able to tailor and design programming for companies and organizations to build a more productive and higher-skilled work force."
The Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant is a federally funded program to help businesses with the costs associated with training new or existing employees.
"Consistently, our member businesses identify skilled labour acquisition as an area of concern for their business and the Canada-Saskatchewan job grant is a valuable resource in that regard," said Rochelle Wendt, General Manager for the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce.
"We have already begun to hear of employers having success with advancing the training level of some of their current employees through this program, and encourage employers to consider the grant program as a tool in their work to meet their ongoing labour needs."
The breakfast will feature Larry Wells, Director of Labour Market Services for the Ministry of the Economy.
Breakfast will begin at 7:30 a.m. in Room 150 of the Southeast College Campus, located in the City Centre Mall.
Attendance at the breakfast is free, but space is limited. To register, please contact the Weyburn Campus of the Southeast College.
