This month’s Workforce Survey reveals that a total of 13 jobs had been created, both full and part time, while the number of jobs lost was 5, for a net gain of 8.

WINHamilton is working -- a quick story
October 08, 2009
Last week I attended the EARN meeting to promote the WINHamilton October 8 launch event (today!). At the meeting, I heard from one service provider that two clients had been referred to her via the WINHamilton network. One of them had been bouncing around in the system for several months before an employment counsellor helped him connect to the appropriate specialized service. How did the counsellor know about the service? Via WINHamilton! We are starting to see the fruits of our labour on this community project. Sarah Wayland
