The Surrey Hiring and Post-Secondary Education Event is coming to the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 16.

As B.C.’s job market continues to grow, local employers are looking for new team members to grow with them.

Despite 2022’s challenges, B.C. had an impressively low unemployment rate of 4.2 per cent and added more than 62,000 new jobs last year. Still, there’s an increasing need to add even more jobs and to connect employers to potential employees.

Black Press is proud to be a part of this exciting development. Investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into local communities, the Black Press events team is thrilled to present yet another opportunity for job-seekers in the Lower Mainland.

The Surrey Hiring and Post-Secondary Education Event is coming to the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 16.

Here, you’ll meet representatives from a wide range of businesses and institutions, showcasing the Lower Mainland’s flourishing job market.

“Our Surrey event last year in September was a terrific success,”says Ranee Pal, Black Press Events Manager. “It was amazing to see thousands of connections being made right in front of us. Surrey is truly an exciting city for prospective employees and students, and it’s important that we give them the tools they need to launch into their dream careers. We can’t wait to do it all again in Surrey soon!”
