Employment Bridge
The Employment Bridge is a tool for Surrey employers and job seekers to connect. It is designed to make it easier for employers to find prospective employees that have undergone formalized training and reskilling/upskilling in different job functions across various industries.
The ‘Job Board’ section is intended for employers to share new employment opportunities. The Surrey Board of Trade uploads the latest resumes on the ‘Applicant Board’ section from applicants that have most recently graduated from an accredited training institution in a specialized program.
Employers can also find information about hiring students enrolled in Work Integrated Learning / Co-op Programs from various fields of study as well as Wage Subsidy and Funding Information here.
Please note that the Surrey Board of Trade does not:
- Guarantee job placement for anyone using its job board or applicant board;
- Guarantee that an employer will fill the vacancy by advertising on the job board;
- Guarantee the validity of any job vacancy submitted;
- Make recommendations regarding potential employers or employees;
- Perform background checks on job applicants or employers;
- Assume any responsibility for wages, benefits, safety, working conditions, or any other aspect of employment.
