The workshop is being brought in by a partnership with Bow Valley College (BVC), McBride Career Group, Community Futures Wild Rose, the Strathmore Chamber of Commerce and Alberta Works, and is a Calgary Region economic partnership.

“Geared specifically to employers and businesses, this workshop focuses on recruitment strategies and recruitment planning processes,” said Teri McKinnon, regional lead for education and business development for Bow Valley College.

The workshops include revision and update of the content for the workshops, power point presentations, participant handouts and facilitator guides. Alberta Works encourages local partnership and collaboration on the promotion, organization and delivery of these workshops in rural communities, said McKinnon.
