Event Sponsor

Chatham-Kent employers are seeking talent to sustain and grow their businesses, which supports a vibrant and healthy community. The Municipality of Chatham-Kent's (MCK) Community Attraction and Promotion (CAP) team works to support employer talent attraction and retention efforts by providing Labour Market Information, community-wide marketing support to attract talent, and support in welcoming new talent and helping them connect to and build a home in Chatham-Kent. We don't do this alone. The Chatham-Kent Talent Attraction & Retention Framework, includes seven key components, with many community stakeholders, partners and employers having vital roles for success.

This presentation will introduce members of the MCK Community Attraction & Promotion team; outline each of our roles within the Talent Attraction & Retention framework; and highlight ways CAP partners with employers to support talent attraction and workforce development. Join us to learn more!
