“The 2023 Regional Job Fairs committee is excited to host these events throughout the region to ensure accessibility for both employers and job seekers,” said Jacinda Rudolph, Grey County Economic Development Officer. “The regional job fairs attract a variety of diverse job seekers with different skills. These events are an excellent way for employers to put their business name out there and connect in person with candidates.”  

Job seekers looking for support with their resume or interviewing skills can contact YMCA Employment Services by calling 519-371-9222 or email [email protected].

The Grey County Regional Job Fairs are made possible through collaboration with local partners including County of Grey, YMCA of Owen Sound, Four County Labour Market Planning Board, Georgian College, City of Owen Sound, Town of Hanover, Municipality of Meaford, Meaford Chamber of Commerce, South Grey Chamber and Employment Ontario.
