On April 12th Rob Oliphant, MP for Don Valley West, hosted his second annual Youth Career & Job Fair. Hundreds of young people (aged 15-19) from across Leaside and Thorncliffe descended on the fair to meet with potential employers including representatives from Pedalheads Bike Camps, Toronto Police Services, Holland Bloorview & Toronto Parks.
Arta Mohasses, Director of Athletes at TAC Sports.ca, was looking to fill 30 summer positions, while Police Constable Juliane Palm, Toronto Police Services Talent acquisition, was promoting the important Youth in Policing Initiative developed to promote youth participation in and exposure to the work environment. Attendees also had the opportunity to receive one-on-one support for editing their resumés, receive free professional head shots, and participate in mock interviews.
