Welland staff will be on-site at Brock University and Niagara College, generating excitement and anticipation for this year’s seasonal recruitment campaign blitz.

Expected to welcome more than 1,500 prospective applicants over three days, Welland staff are focusing on the unique opportunities, and complimentary training offered this year.

“We’re looking at hiring more than 150 seasonal and causal positions this year,” said Brooke Iannuzzelli, HR coordinator. “Job fairs allow us to speak one-on-one with potential applicants and answer any questions they may have. They are a great way to get familiar with an organization, and we’re excited to share with everyone the benefits of working in Welland this year.”

February 7: Niagara College, Welland Campus, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Learning Commons.

February 8: Brock University, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

February 9: Niagara College, Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Yerich Auditorium.

Available jobs this year focus on camp positions, aquatics, public works, parks, the Empire Sportsplex, causal labour, and co-op positions.

The City recognizes that only some have the means, opportunity, or time to obtain the necessary certifications or licenses to gain some of our seasonal employment opportunities successfully. This year, the City is funding opportunities for successful applicants who require training or certification in national lifeguard certification, pleasure craft operation, CPR/First Aid, and food handling.
