Prince George SCCY Closing For the Season

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. – The Prince George Service Canada Centre for Youth (SCCY) is closing for the season August 19, 2009.

“The summer was extremely successful,” said Kyle Flannagan, Youth Service Officer. “We helped a large number of young people with their job searches, résumé and cover letter writing, interview techniques, and information on employment standards, health and safety in the workplace and wage rates.”

The Prince George Centre helped local employers find enthusiastic students who were ready to work. The SCCY also hosted a number of events designed to connect employers and students, and to promote the benefits of hiring young people during the summer.

Some of the most successful promotional events included Casual Labour Job Promotion Weeks where the Centre posted 32 casual labour vacancies over a two week period. The Prince George Centre is grateful to the many employers, youth and community organizations that helped to make these events such a success and reminds any employers who may still need to a hire a student that they will be open until August 19, 2009.

The Prince George SCCY is looking forward to working with the community again next summer. For more information on Service Canada services for youth, call 1-800-O-Canada or visit servicecanada.gc.ca.
