A job fair is planned as a global company looks at a potential new 500 employee call centre in the Sarnia area.
HGS Canada Incorporated and the Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership have announced a job fair will be held at the Lambton Inn on London Road October 29th and 30th from 10am till 7pm.
Mayor Mike Bradley says getting people out to the Job Fair is critical in showing Sarnia has the required workforce for the new business. He says HGS plans to initially create about 200 jobs with the chance of further expansion within the year.
Economic Partnership G-M George Mallay says Sarnia is in competition with Chatham Kent. He says the target is to have over 15 hundred applicants submit resumes over the two day job fair.
Two major call centres have closed in recent months locally. HGS Senior Vice President of Business Development John Hooper says U-S companies pulling out of Canada has been beneficial to them.
