CareersNOW! is Food and Beverage Ontario’s workforce development initiative for Ontario’s food and beverage processing industry.

No one understands better than Ontario’s food and beverage processors, the important role that our industry plays in maintaining the health and well-being of our communities. As demand for food — especially food from here in Ontario — continues to grow, so does the demand for trained, reliable and engaged employees.
 
CareersNOW! provides employers with access to trained, talented frontline workers as well as connection to students looking for Co-op opportunities.
 
Through CareersNOW!, employers may be eligible for a subsidy of up to $7,500 to hire a student through a Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) placement! Employers can also post job opportunities – for free – which connect to qualified jobseekers on the CareersNOW! workforce portal. 

Funding and placement opportunities are limited, so get your business growing by registering with CareersNOW! today.
