Prince George, B.C. – The College of New Caledonia is one of the regional Colleges in  B.C. featured on a new  recruitment website.

While  it may  catch the  interest of  potential students,  it is aimed at  recruiting people to work  at the various campuses outside of the Greater Vancouver area.

“It’s Good Out Here” (www.itsgoodouthere.com) showcases the advantages of  working  at regional colleges and living in the smaller communities.

This is the first time the  regional colleges have collaborated  on a project this size.  The website features 43 communities  from Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii,  the Yukon border to the north,  the Rockies to the east and everything in between.

 “There are some excellent careers available in some great communities and we just need to let people know about them,” says Sandra Rossi, CNC’s Executive Director of Human Resources. “This website should really help us spread the word about great communities like Prince George and wonderful colleges like CNC and others.”

Rossi says  the  colleges aren't worried about competing with each other for  the same  qualified people "This is more about  retention.  We're wanting to recruit people who are really interested in  our area.  We are not seeing this as competition,  we want to make sure that  while the position is a good fit,  that the candidates have really  good flavour for the community by giving them a realistic snapshot of what its like to live here."

Job opportunities include careers in teaching, administration, finance, health services, information technology, maintenance, trades and senior leadership.
