NETP Alumni Needed: Focus Group
Ontario Labour Market Partnership Program (OLMPP) has been commissioned by the Labour Ministry to research the most in-demand jobs in the industry. The results will be used to inform the creation of website designed to connect visitors to opportunities in the industry. It will feature an assessment quiz to guide visitors to the most suitable career possibilities in the profession. The website will also include profiles of the various job profiles, career pathways, including information on educational programs, and a job board.
OLMPP is conducting a series of focus groups to help guide this project. They have arranged a focus group specifically for graduates from the GROW New Entrant Training Program due the week of September 20, 2021.
Stay tuned for details and sign-up information!
