Employment issues for diverse groups
We just received notice that there is still time to register....
Employers in Simcoe and Muskoka are invited to join us for a Lunch & Learn in the Silver Nightingale room at Casino Rama from 10 a.m.— 3 p.m. on October 10th. There is no charge for the event and the lunch.
Employers are often unable to fill positions, conversely, job seekers with job placement challenges find it difficult to secure employment due to a lack of understanding of their unique value.
SMWDB, in conjunction with a panel of experts, plans, at this presentation, to address challenges in attracting, retaining and enhancing local talent by discussing diverse groups (youth, immigrants, aboriginals, people with diversity issues and those with criminal records) so local employers can expand their labour pool. Time will be allocated after presentations for questions.
Key Note Speaker and Youth Expert Panelist Max Valiquette is one of Canada's best known culture and media experts and commentators. He focuses primarily on media, youth and popular culture, and marketing. Max is a regular contributor to CBC Radio and also a featured commentator on the television program "What's in a Name."

May 2nd - Step up to powerful goals
STEP UP TO POWERFUL GOALS AND ENERGIZING ACTION PLANS
Presented by international consultant, Paul de Burger
This upbeat and interactive seminar will teach small business owners how to set powerful goals, build effective action plans, and “see the big picture” in their own entrepreneurial venture.
Far too many small business owners fly by the seat of their pants and wonder why their business never improves! This is often due to vague goals, a lack of planning, and a need for clarity around what they are hoping to achieve (and – more importantly – how they hope to achieve it!).
Key topics include:
• Setting powerful short- and long-term business goals using the STEP UP model
• The keys to acting on goals, instead of just talking about them
• Creating clear one-page yearly action plans
• Keys to effective time management and maximizing opportunities
• Finding the right balance between personal and professional time
• Increasing staff performance through clear communication of goals and business objectives

Time: 6:30 to 9:30 pm
Location: Gravenhurst Opera House
Admission: Free
Pre-registration is requested to: mdelang@gravenhurst.ca or by phone 705-644-9397
