Neepawa MYJC open for business

Neepawa and area MYJC Youth Engagement Leader

The Neepawa Ë®¹ûÊÓƵ Youth Job Centre is open once again for the summer! Centres across Ë®¹ûÊÓƵ are in their 41st year of successfully supporting youth employment in Ë®¹ûÊÓƵ. The Neepawa Ë®¹ûÊÓƵ Youth Job Centre (MYJC) is sponsored by Ë®¹ûÊÓƵ Department of Education and Training in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and serves the communities of Arden, Birnie, Brookdale and Eden.

My name is Michael Macaraeg and I am the Neepawa and area MYJC Youth Engagement Leader for the summer of 2016. I have just completed my first year of study at University of Ë®¹ûÊÓƵ and I am very excited to be back in the community.

The MYJC is designed to meet the employment needs of students and youth, as well as the needs of employers who have vacant positions to fill, by offering a free referral service to those who wish to hire an eager, hard-working young person. Employers of all types – business and household – can take advantage of the free services the Centre provides. Only the most qualified candidates are referred and the employer always has the final hiring decision.

We encourage students and youth over the age of 12 to register with our office. If you are seeking full-time, part-time or casual employment, need help with your resume or want to expand your job search or interview skills, just drop by and we will be happy to work with you.

The Centre will also be holding an open house on Tuesday, May 24, from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm with an official ribbon cutting taking place at 1:00 pm. The public is invited to drop in and enjoy great company, coffee and snacks!

I am looking forward to a great summer in our communities. If you have any questions or employment needs, please feel free to call (204) 841-1294 or to stop by the MYJC office at County Courthouse from 8:30 – 1:00 and 1:45 – 4:30. I hope to hear from you soon!
