Utilizing Government Programs to Hire& How to Attract Top Talent Post-COVID

MNP in collaboration with ventureLAB, will be hosting this interactive workshop about Utilizing Government Programs to Hire Employees & How to Attract Top Talent Post-COVID.

As COVID-19 restrictions are eased and demand on organizations increases, talent is becoming harder to find. This leaves organizations, such as startups, in an increasingly difficult place while looking to re-hire or hire new team members. During this workshop, Jim Cruickshank, Senior Manager, Consulting Services, at MNP will discuss how the 2021 federal budget and programs can assist in the re-opening of businesses and hiring of employees. Jim will also cover ways to attract and retain employees during a time where companies are competing for top talent.
