Work in Quinte Program
The Municipalities of Quinte West, Belleville and Brighton, along with Quinte Economic Develpment Commission and the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board have partnered to develop a new and exciting Work in Quinte program. This initiative includes a website where Quinte Region Employers have the ability to upload jobs, receive resumes and access a resume database. Job Seekers have the opportunity to view current job postings from all sectors and upload their resumes into the resume database for local employers to access directly. The website is live at www.workinquinte.ca
The project is funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
The Quinte Career Fair, held every spring and fall, brings job seekers together with local employers and training providers, offering job search, resume writing and skills upgrading.
