Not surprisingly, it’s here where most job opportunities lie. Fortunately, Vernon has numerous programs and services to aid people with their job search, including:
• job boards
• workshops
• career coaching and networking
• skills enhancement
• one-on-one employment counseling
• educational planning
• foreign credential recognition assistance
Knowing what’s out there can make the search for employment easier, more enjoyable and ultimately more rewarding. |
