COVID-19 Resources For Workers and Employers

March 26, 2020

The Work Place continues to assist clients through a revised service delivery model as the Provincial Government has directed us not to provide in-person service. However, our staff can assist you in several ways.

We can work with you via phone, email or video technology to provide assistance to develop/fine tune your job search skills: resume, cover letter, interview skills (including digital interviewing), LinkedIn Profile, and networking capabilities.

Give us a call at 780-539-5477 or send an enquiry to info@gpworkplace.ca.

Our website is www.gpworkplace.ca

We will also continue to share other relevant resources and information to workers and employers as it becomes available.
