Free Services to Help Meet Your Human Resource Needs
Local employers can receive free services from the Employment Transitions & Coaching Program in recruiting and hiring new employees with appropriate skills and good attitudes.

The Capital Regional District is facing an increasing shortage in skills and labour. Immigration has become the main source for new workers. Immigrants represent nearly 19% or 57,590 of population in the Capital Regional District - a significant share of the local workforce. In the last two years, the Employment Transitions & Coaching Program has witnessed a significant increase in the number of immigrants having a wide range of careers in healthcare, childcare, IT, mechanical engineering, accounting, bookkeeping, human resources, senior management, etc.

The Employment Transitions & Coaching Program also includes the BC Skills Connect Program. These participants are skilled professionals who have the right combination of skills, language level and education to make a significant contribution to your workplace.

Immigrants frequently bring with them not only skills and experience, but also excellent work-ethics, loyalty, strong desires for work as well as willingness and ability to learn quickly. The Employment Transitions & Coaching Program can help you tap into the new segment of job seekers in the local labour market.

We can refer pre-screened, highly-qualified candidates upon your request.
