Economic Partnership Wins Big for Matching Apprentices with Employers

SARNIA, ON: The Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership won big recently at the EDCO awards for their Sarnia-Lambton Apprentice Job Match Tool. The Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) award was for the best Workforce Development & Resident Attraction initiative in the province.

The Sarnia-Lambton Apprentice Job Match Tool was created by the economic partnership as a tool to connect local employers with apprentices locally and provincially in response to local employer hiring challenges.

“Our Apprentice Job Match Tool is a game-changer for local employers and apprentices, we’re proud to be leading the way in workforce development and resident attraction in Ontario.” said CEO Dan Taylor “It is great for our team to be recognized for the hard work they do for our area.”

Local employers with apprenticeship opportunities are encouraged to register for the free easy-to-use tool to develop their workforce and be matched directly to workers. For more information and to register your business with the tool visit: www.sarnialambtonapprentice.ca.
