Success Stories

"Canada DanceSport, Inc. is almost exclusively a volunteer-run organization, and the time and resources we have available to devote to recruitment are limited. During our recent search for a summer student Marketing Assistant, we found the Job Connect Resource Centre at St. Lawrence College to be an invaluable resource in broadcasting our position opening to a wide pool of candidates. We received applications from many excellent candidates, and were able to recruit and hire an individual ideally suited to the position within two weeks. We sincerely appreciate the assistance and responsive nature of the service we received from the Centre."

"Job Connect provides one more way in which the ‘Y’ achieves its mandate of developing people in spirit, mind, and body. The results have been great and the experience positive."

"Job Connect is definitely a ‘win-win’ program as the training subsidy is substantial enough to enable BREMH to hire kids who maybe we wouldn't have even considered interviewing under different circumstances. The partnership has been very successful and we have hired many good people through it."

“We have a 100% hire rate for the people you have sent us. The funded placement makes it very easy to open the doors to your people (clients) and what we find is after the training we hate to see them go. This is one of the best employment based government funded projects I have ever seen.”
