Two job fairs and more for March 2015
about half of most new businesses do not last more than five years and also more than three-quarters of existing businesses are going to change hands or may even close within a period of five to 10 years from now. The reason may be a merger with another entreprise, relocation to another area, or some other explanation. What we’re going to do during these workshops is talk about how local entrepreneurs can make themselves better informed and aware of existing and available resources and also the possibilities for their own current operations.” Participation in the job fairs and the conferences is open and free for anyone wishing to attend. But those interested in the BDO- sponsored events need to sign up online at the job fair website link when it becomes active in January.

The Prescott-Russell Employment Services Centre (PRESC) confirmed that it will host not just one, but two major job fairs in the region next March. The first event will be held March 14 at the RiverRock Inn in Rockland. The second is scheduled for March 21 at l’École secondaire régionale catholique de Hawkesbury. For the fourth annual presentation of its job fair program, the agency has adopted the slogan, “Pass the Word”, a snapshot look at the value of networking for job hunters and also recognition of the valuable cooperation between various businesses and key executives in making this event happen. “The initial fair’s focus was on the students, both the job hunters and the workers,” explained Murielle Huneault-Pilon, PRESC spokesperson. “Often people tend to think of a job fair as just something that helps them to find work. But it’s also for those who are already employed, maybe in a temporary capacity, or who might just simply want to look at something different. The challenge I throw at people that they should be happy in what they are doing or be willing to seek out something different.” With close to 40 businesses and also a large number of potential job applicants signed for the two fairs next year, PRESC officials hope to create a real passion within the business community, not only to draw in the crowds but also to strengthen the economic profile of Prescott-Russell, both within the region itself and beyond. The job fair is both an occasion when business owners can uncover choice candidates for positions, and also avoid any potential future problems with personnel turnover. “During the summer, we give many students the opportunity to work with us,” said Stéphane Jeaurond, owner of Marché Lacroix in Hawkesbury. “Next year four staff members who have worked with me for the past three or four years are going off to university, so I’m going to need some new blood to replace them. Also, finding trained and experienced butchers is difficult, but the centre was able to find us one in Kingston in less than a month’s time. Finding and hiring new staff isn’t easy, and the job fair sure does help me find the people I need.” Also on the subject of jobs and careers, the PRESC is partnered with BDO Canada for two conferences dealing with the realm of business. These sessions should prove very interesting for anyone thinking about starting up their own business, looking to buy an existing business, or seeking ways to better manage their existing operations and make them more efficient. “We’re going to look at and talk about things from the administrative point of view and such,” said Yannick Charrette, BDO Rockland director for certification and accountancy. “Business owners know their own areas of expertise, but when you start talking about business operations and workers, it can be a little more complicated. According to industry statistics and projections, The new council andmayor for Alfred-Plantagenet Township are coming down hard with solid support for local agencies to look after the community’s blue box recycling needs. A delegation from Group Convex and its community employment program, Recycle Action, asked council Dec. 15 for a show of support against a study going on in Kingston about the feasibility of set- ting up a large-scale blue-box recycling facility and program to handle all of the household tin, bottle glass, newspapers and other recyclable materials throughout Eastern Ontario. Recycle Action provides blue-box collection of recyclables in Alfred- Plantagenet and several other Prescott-Russell municipalities and its program also provides jobs for people who might othe- rwise have difficulty finding work. Township council gave una- nimous approval to signing a form letter provided by Groupe Convex stating the township has“no interest”in being part of an Eastern Ontario mega-blue box recycling program out of Kings- ton. 1,,+.0ŏ(+ (ŏ.! 5 (!./
