Youth Engagement Leader

Rivers’ Manitoba Youth Job Centre (MYJC) is open once again for the summer! Centres across Manitoba are in their 40th year of successfully supporting youth employment in Manitoba. The Rivers centre is sponsored by Manitoba Children and Youth Opportunities in partnership with Riverdale Municipality, and serves the communities of Rivers, Forrest, Rapid City and Oak River.

My name is Andrea Futrell and I am the Rivers and area MYJC Youth Engagement Leader for the summer of 2015. I have just completed my first year of study at Brandon University and I am very excited to be back in the community.

MYJC is designed to meet the employment needs of students and youth, as well as the needs of employers who have vacant positions to fill, by offering a free referral service to those who wish to hire an eager, hard-working young person. Employers of all types – business and household – can take advantage of the free services the centre provides. Only the most qualified candidates are referred and the employer always has the final hiring decision.

We encourage students and youth over the age of 12 to register with our office. If you are seeking full-time, part-time or casual employment, need help with your resume or want to expand your job search or interview skills, just drop by and we will be happy to work with you.

I am looking forward to a great summer in our communities. If you have any questions or employment needs, please feel free to call 204-328-5381 or to stop by the MYJC office located in the front part of the municipal office in Rivers from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. I hope to hear from you soon!
