Middlesex County’s Local Workforce Resource
Whether you are an employer looking to hire or a job seeker looking for the perfect career, we have a resource that can help! The Middlesex Workforce Development Partnership launched Work in Middlesex – a web-based platform that hosts employment, cooperative education, volunteer and entrepreneurial opportunities and resources available throughout Middlesex County. The website was created in an effort to gather, provide and build local opportunities in one convenient, easily accessible database that aims to increase connectivity and strengthen relationships throughout municipalities. Employers who are looking to invest and grow within the community are encouraged to post available opportunities for increased awareness and greater access to suitable candidates. Job seekers who are looking for work in any capacity, whether it be a full-time, part-time, contract, casual, etc., can create a user account which grants access to a full range of opportunities, generates job matching notifications, and allows for additional services and supports to assist with the application process. Educators are encouraged to log in to the website using assigned credentials to navigate work-integrated learning opportunities and connect directly with supportive employers for student placement. Likewise, students are empowered to get involved in their co-op search by playing an integral role in discovering their future
career pathways. Organizations that are looking to recruit volunteers for events and community engagement activities can post information on how to get involved. Similarly, volunteers are encouraged to get active in their community through various skill-building and experience-generating opportunities. Entrepreneurial-driven individuals who aspire to start a small business, or who have recently relocated their business to the area, are able to explore available resources and connect to partnering agencies for support. Middlesex County boasts a highly educated labour force with a reputation for quality work and a strong work ethic, while also being home to a vast variety of homegrown businesses with sustainable opportunities and a neighbour to world-renowned educational institutions. The combined forces that create the County’s thriving workforce inspire all to succeed in a viable and long-standing career. As the saying goes, “It takes a village” and we are all responsible for generating the heartbeat of Middlesex County. Now is the time to take advantage of local talent and local opportunities.
