Meet the team at the Employment Centre!

Greetings from the brand new Employment Centre! I’m Lydia Nutbrown and I’ll be the team’s friendly blogging nerd. I’m an Employment Developer, so I will be meeting with employers around the city talking about how we can create mutually beneficial employment opportunities for our clients. I’m always looking to meet new people and open doors to employment, so if you know anyone who’s hiring, let me know!

Next on the tour is Trina Frank, our Intake/Assessment Facilitator. Trina will use her natural sensitivity and inquisitive mind to help our clients assess their work and personal histories to determine their next steps to employment. She also builds relationships with other local service providers to ensure that we can refer our clients to whatever training they might need before starting a job.

Eric Shorten and Merrill Blenman represent our dynamic duo of Employment Coaches. They will work with clients throughout their employment, providing advice and support along the way. They will also be available to employers to help them learn how to best supervise and cultivate a positive work environment for our clients. Good thing they’re both former cheerleaders…just kidding.

Finally, our fearless leader and Manager, Jon Schiedel. He’ll keep us all on track and provide the vision for the program as we seek to serve our clients in their pursuit of sustainable employment.

Hopefully learning about our roles gives you an idea of how our program works. Questions are welcome, though, so feel free to stop by or comment on this post for more information. Until next time!
