What's Happening in Leduc, AB…

Connecting graduates with potential employers is a concern for most communities, in particular for the Leduc-Nisku Economic Development Authority, who hosted a breakfast with local business and community leaders on October 18 to discuss the topic. The October 18 breakfast, centered on connecting graduating students to local business communities in ways mutually beneficial to both.

While not addressing any one sector or industry, there are important benefits to exploring opportunities for businesses to connect with graduating candidates in certain fields, especially international students who come to Leduc and the Nisku area from abroad and may be willing to explore employment opportunities beyond positions offered by global market leaders.

Universities themselves in the Leduc and Nisku areas are advertising to students many small and medium sized companies who are local in the area and who might be willing to recruit graduates upon competitions of their programs.

The Leduc-Nisku EDA might be of considerable interest to Print companies new to the area or those looking to recruit top talent to expand the future of their companies, especially graduates from graphic design or printing programs.

One way to scope out prospective talent is to become involved in university career fairs and specifically target graduates from programs relating to printing, journalism and design technology. Another effective way to recruit prospective talent within printing companies is to become involved in co-op programs; students will gain invaluable experience within their own industry while printers can train and mold the skills of students into those of prospective employees.
