Community Recruitment & Retention Program of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean

ECO-02 intends to support available opportunities for education and work that is available to English-speaking and bilingual students and increase the health and social services (H&SS) provided in English within the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region and to retain those health and social service professionals upon graduation.

Through this project, ECO-02 will continue to collaborate with Central Quebec School board as well as develop and nurture new partnerships with our local CEGEPs and UQAC University. We will leverage existing relationships with other institutions/organizations in the employment sector in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and Chibougamau region to increase awareness of available jobs in the Health & Social Services field at a local level.

Through our relationship with the CIUSSS we will establish a clear line of communication to assist new bilingual graduates in finding employment in their chosen field within the public sector.

ECO-02 will have a section of our website formatted to provide information on the Bursary Program as well as pertinent information regarding where to look for work at the CIUSSS in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean as well as information from relevant partners in the community related to employment and recruitment.
