MP Rob Oliphant has released information on his third annual Youth Career and Job Fair held Friday, April 24. More than 300 young people and some 50 employers filled a large reception room at St. Clement of Ohrid Macedonian Cathedral on Overlea Blvd. The Don Valley West event was open to all youth between the ages of 15 and 30 who were searching for work, career advice or volunteer opportunity. Those looking for advice had the chance to engage one-on-one with employers and experts at the Employment Café, where they received support to improve their resumes, participated in mock interviews, and got employment counselling.

Attendees also had the chance to get professional photos taken at the free photo booth. Employers in attendance included Toronto Parks, Forestry, and Recreation; The Canadian Armed Forces; Service Canada; IKEA Canada; Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF); Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre; CIBC; and many more. Partners for this event were Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation; TNO (The Neighbourhood Organization); The Centre for Education & Training; Labour Education Centre; and Employment Ontario — with release.
