Over 600 Jobs Available at Tourism Job Fair March 11th

Charlottetown, PE – There will be over 600 employment opportunities available at the Annual Tourism Job Fair. The Tourism Industry Association of Prince Edward Island (TIAPEI) will be hosting the annual event on Saturday, March 11th at the Delta Prince Edward from 10-3pm.

The goal of the Tourism Job Fair is to provide job seekers, students, employers, training institutions and government agencies a central location to network. The Tourism Job Fair will be most effective for businesses that are currently recruiting, expecting to recruit in the near future, or those wanting to promote their services to job seekers. 

Robert Jourdain, TIAPEI President says, “The tourism industry has so many opportunities that can appeal to different interests and ages. We encourage everyone interested in tourism to attend March 11th and see what opportunities await.”

Steven Larkin, owner & operator of Lobster on the Wharf adds, “It has been my experience over the years that the TIAPEI tourism job fair is the best event for meeting keen and key potential employees for my business.  There is always a wide range of skilled individuals looking for employment, which is great for finding employees to fill various roles in our operation.”

This event is open to all ages, skill levels and educational backgrounds of people that have a desire to work in the tourism industry. There will be over 30 businesses recruiting for the 2017 tourism season.

To view the entire list of employers who will be attending the job fair or for more information, please visit the TIAPEI website at www.tiapei.pe.ca or Debbie Mol at 902-566-5008.

This project is funded in whole or in part by the Canada/Prince Edward Island Labour Market Agreements.

Tourism is a vital industry in Prince Edward Island that provides over 7,000 full time equivalent jobs for Islanders. It accounts for approximately $380 million in economic activity each year and seven percent of GDP, the highest percentage of any Canadian province.
