Work Opportunities in Simcoe County

On Tuesday, November 9, 2021, “Work in Simcoe County” is hosting its second-ever Virtual Job Fair. The fair will be done over the Brazen virtual platform from 10:00 am-2:00 pm. The intention is to connect local job seekers with local employers in a virtual setting. This is a fantastic opportunity to make an impression and obtain employment, rather than endlessly applying for positions through the impersonal, yet useful, platform of Indeed.
