Part of the EmploymentWorks program is job sampling. A key ingredient in a program that focuses on developing job search skills, building a network to help gain and maintain jobs and making key connections to opportunities. We're working with community partners to help create these opportunities. Our participants have expressed an interest in learning about remote career opportunities so we're doing our best to include those as well. A couple of weeks ago, Lisa Blinn joined us for a work session focused on what it takes to be a Digital Accessibility Specialist. This is a position that can be within an organization or could become an opportunity to freelance through entrepreneurship. Lisa focused on the different tools and skills needed to be successful in a position like this. With the #employmentworks program existing to support neurodiverse job seekers, we know they'd bring an expert eye in to the design of websites, apps and more as they already navigate that space on a daily basis. If you're interested in providing an onsite job sampling opportunity, please email elizabeth@sperocareerscanada.ca and let us know! We're looking for accountant firms, financial advisory services, chemical lab tech, marketing and communications and more. We've got all the information and support you'd need to provide a great opportunity for our job seekers to learn about the jobs they're interested in and expand their network! #autism #neurodiversity #employment #success

Job Boards Connect *Unplugged* is taking place tomorrow in London! This event is a fantastic opportunity to discuss and share the latest tech developments, best practices in the job board sector. 💢 One of the biggest challenges in the job board sector is the poor matching of job seekers to job listings. Often, candidates find great opportunities that turn out to be impractically far away, while employers receive applications from candidates who haven't considered the commute. At TravelTime, we tackle this problem by integrating travel time into search algorithms. Our API ensures that job listings and CVs are matched not only based on skills and experience but also realistic commute times. This leads to more relevant and actionable matches, enhancing user satisfaction and success in the job market. Can't wait to discuss more and explore new possibilities with everyone at the event! See you there? 💡🕒 #JobBoardsConnect #LondonEvents #InnovationInRecruitment #TravelTimeAPI #Matching #DistanceMatrix #TravelTimeSearch #Commute #Commuting #location #LocationData
