South Huron Chamber of
Commerce to host second
annual job fair in 2017
Plans are underway for a South
Huron Job Fair on March 9, 2017,
from noon until 6 p.m. at the Exeter
Legion. Last year's event was a suc-
cess with 16 exhibitors and over
250 job seekers in attendance.
Building on the success and the
positive response from employers
and job seekers, this year's event
will be held in a larger venue and
will be expanded to focus on addi-
tional sectors as well as student
summer employment.
Last year, employers were
impressed with the number of job
seekers that attended the job fair.
"We heard from employers that the
Job Fair was least expensive they've
participated in, but they got the best
results," said Tine Buechler, Vice
President of the South Huron Cham-
ber of Commerce. "The impact of an
afternoon spent with intentional job
seekers resulted in a good number of
hires in 2016, a very cost effective
way to gain new employees'.
This year's job fair hopes to feature
employers from various sectors
including: manufacturing, tourism,
food service, retail, construction,
transportation, agriculture and
more. Employers with summer posi-
tions are also encouraged to exhibit
as the event will be marketed to area
high schools. In 2016, companies
hired for a variety of positions
including office/administration,
sales and marketing, food service,
skilled trades and manufacturing.

In 2016, job seekers attended
from a variety of communities
within a 30 -kilometer radius of
South Huron including St. Mary's,
Parkhill, Bayfield, Goderich,
Strathroy, Seaforth, Grand Bend,
_and London. Most job seekers
came dressed to impress and
brought copies of their resume. In
2017, a job seeker coaching ele-
ment will be offered for first-time
job fair attendees and those unsure
of how to make the most of the
event.
The South Huron Chamber of Com-
merce (SHCC) will organize the 2017
event, in partnership with the Centre
of Employment and Learning, Cones-
toga Career Centre, Municipality of
South Huron, and the County of
Huron's Economic Development Ser-
vices. The group collaborated on last
year's Job Fair to help local businesses
find the employees they need to suc-
ceed, and to support growth in the
local economy.
Joan Brady, SHCC Executive
Director, said, "Attracting workers.
and having the right skill sets availa-
ble has been identified as the largest
barrier to business growth and
expansion. A strong business sector
advances a vibrant and resilient
community, its what everyone wants
for South Huron':
