Workforce Windsor Essex and Employment Ontario have partnered to collect resumes from anyone who is willing and able to work during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
An essential workers registry has been formed to create a one-stop-shop for employers looking to fill roles at grocery stores, essential manufacturing plants and other essential workplaces. Jobseekers will be matched with job openings based on their qualifications and location.
“The Essential Worker Registry will make it easier for all area Employment Ontario service providers to fill urgent job vacancies collaboratively through a resume database,” said Workforce WindsorEssex CEO Justin Falconer. “Anyone able to work in a non-healthcare essential business is encouraged to register locally through our website.”
Depending on the nature of the job, positions could be filled within a few days. The positions range from temporary to permanent, part or full time.
This registry is separate from the registry the Government of Ontario established for frontline workers like health care professionals.
