Project Hire launches in Lethbridge to serve workers & employers
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Job seekers and employers are encouraged to take part in a new initiative from the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce and Teamworks Career Centre.
Project Hire is funded by the Alberta Ministry of Labour and Immigration as well as the Government of Canada.
The intent is to get “unemployed Albertans transitioned to new work in the shortest time possible” and to support employers by providing financial support when training a new employee directly at the worksite.
“A strong economy is dependent on good jobs and a skilled workforce,” says Cyndi Vos, CEO of Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce. “We are pleased to partner with Teamworks to invest in programs that help southern Alberta residents gain the skills they need to secure meaningful employment. A working Alberta is a healthy Alberta.”
