SUMMARY:2018 - 'Bridging the Employment Gap' - Connecting the Underemployed and the Understaffed
DESCRIPTION:Burnaby Board of Trade businesses say finding employees and filling vacancies is their #1 challenge. \n\nBurnaby Board of Trade non-profits say they have clients who are underemployed or unemployed and looking for work. \n\nHow do we bridge this 'employment gap' and connect the underemployed to the understaffed in Burnaby? \n\nThe Burnaby Board of Trade and Burnaby Community Services are co-hosting a 'design lab' to consider how we might fill these persistent vacancies with those who are working but still living below the poverty line. Facilitated by RADIUS SFU\, the lab will:\n\n\n	chart the journey of people who are working in precarious and/or low wage jobs towards stable\, full time careers\,\n	look for ways to shorten that transition\, and\n	brainstorm innovative services to support employees and employers to make it happen.  \n\n\nWe are looking for businesses\, both large and small\, to share their insights and experiences to help design a "Made-in-Burnaby" approach to solving the labour needs of local businesses while helping the under/unemployed in our community. \n\nEvent Details:\n\nDate: June 25\n\nTime: 12:00pm - 4:00pm (lunch provided)\n\nVenue: Shadbolt Centre (6450 Deer Lake Ave)\n\nCost:  Free \n\nRegister: Email cory@bbot.ca
