Mac showing students where the jobs are

McMaster University has come up with a way to get students interested in working in the city of Hamilton.

The idea is to take students around the city and show them where the opportunities are – and they are in fields ranging from manufacturing, to communications. It’s all part of a two day ’employment crawl’ put on by the school.

Despite people thinking there’s high unemployment in the city, there are some places hiring.

70 percent of the workplaces students visited today have job openings – and the others may have future opportunities and are willing to take on students or recent grads. Cristina Tenaglia followed a group of students interested in healthcare and social services; one of their stops, was at the North Hamilton Community Health Centre.
