Prince George, B.C. – The Prince George Service Canada Centre for Youth (SCCY) is now open to the public. The office is ready to help businesses and young workers with their summer employment needs.

 

“Whatever the job – big or small, short or long term – we can help you fill it,” said Vivian Houg, Youth Services Officer. “In the coming weeks, Youth Services Officers will be contacting local employers to make them aware that our SCCY is now open and ready to assist them in any way it can.”

 

Service Canada Centres for Youth link youth and employers. The Centres provide young people with job postings, interview advice, résumé building and job search strategies and employers with a location to post job openings. SCCYs also provide valuable information on health and safety in the workplace.

 

Today, from 8:30am to 4:00pm at 1363 4^th Avenue, there will be an open house celebrating the Service Canada Centre for Youth’s 40^th birthday.

 

10am to 12pm will be geared towards employers seeking employees for vacant positions and 2pm to 4pm will be geared towards youth between the ages of 15 and 30 seeking employment. All attendees will receive an information gift bag.
