Struggling to Recruit Talent?
Venture Kamloops Can Help


In Canada's fiercely competitive labor market, securing qualified talent with the right skill set has become an ever more daunting task. This challenge is projected to persist over the next 10 to 15 years due to the retirement of baby boomers and a decline in the working-age population. Fortunately, numerous organizations offer a wealth of resources to aid employers in recruitment, training, and accessing grants. These resources can greatly support you in devising a comprehensive workforce development plan.

Success in Attracting
Skilled Talent to BC

Venture Kamloops, along with representatives from Kelowna, Vernon, and Salmon Arm, recently embarked on an ambitious international recruitment campaign aimed at attracting skilled workers to British Columbia. This campaign culminated in a successful showcase at major emigration conferences held in France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Morocco, and the UK. The campaign sought to highlight the region's thriving economy, quality of life, and employment opportunities, particularly in key industries such as technology, trades, and healthcare.

The initiative proved fruitful, with nine individuals visiting Kamloops after engaging with representatives at the conferences. Moreover, three families have since relocated to the region, and seven additional individuals are actively seeking employment opportunities within Kamloops. This campaign underscores our commitment to fostering economic growth and community development by bringing in diverse, talented professionals from around the globe.

We faced ongoing difficulties recruiting CNC Machinists and reached out to Nicole at Venture Kamloops for support to hire Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs). Venture Kamloops expedited the process by providing a referral to the Category A, Global Talent Stream program. While hiring TFWs can seem daunting, Nicole made it effortless, guiding us through each step and promptly answering all our questions. We were approved to hire two TFWs far sooner than if had we independently applied- just a couple of weeks as opposed to several months! Don't hesitate to reach out to VK - especially if time is of the essence.

In March 2024, we welcomed Danilo and Noel, skilled CNC Machinists from the Philippines, to our team. Not only are Danilo & Noel extremely skilled Machinists, but they have also increased the overall professionalism in our shop and are an absolute joy to work alongside. We couldn't be happier with the outcome- thank you Nicole and Venture Kamloops!
