Employment Services launches website to help job seekers and employers in Durham Region

Whitby, Ontario – A new website is available to support job seekers and employers across Durham region. The website, durham.ca/EmploymentServices, provides helpful resources, labour market information and more.

While in-person support is available through local Employment Services Providers, the durham.ca/EmploymentServices site can be accessed any time, from anywhere. The content on the website is specific to Durham Region communities.

The Employment Services website was launched by the Durham Region Employment Services Consortium, which includes The Regional Municipality of Durham (lead agency), Durham College and Durham Workforce Authority. The consortium provides funding, support and oversight for the region’s employment services network.

Employment Services offers tailored assistance, skill development and guidance to foster a thriving, inclusive labour market. Their goal is to empower job seekers to acquire new skills, and secure and maintain meaningful employment; and for employers to access the necessary skills and resources to create job opportunities, driving economic prosperity.

This Employment Ontario service is funded in part by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.
