For more information on the YES! Winnipeg talent program, contact: Yvonne Kinley Director of Talent & Workforce Development P 204.954.0997 yvonne@yeswinnipeg.com Corinne Gusnoski Business Development Coordinator P 204.954.1975 corinne@yeswinnipeg.com We'll take the lead on mission logistics to save companies time and resources. Our team will promote the mission to in-market candidates, recruit Winnipeg companies to participate, gather applications and coordinate job fairs and interviews. Your job is to find the best candidate for your role. Our job is to do the rest. » Welcome talent home Manitoba produces high-quality graduates, but over the years many have left to pursue careers in other markets. Their quality of life may take a hit in Canada's larger cities; long commute times and expensive housing make it hard to thrive, especially for young families. Winnipeg's competitive advantages in these areas build a compelling case for former residents to move home. We will use proactive marketing campaigns, technology platforms and partnerships with post-secondary alumni networks to recruit these experienced professionals back home to fill senior positions in key sectors. » Investments in our economic future We estimate the talent strategy will cost $1.8 million over three years, which includes funding from Western Economic Diversification Canada, the Manitoba Government and the City of Winnipeg, as well as Economic Development Winnipeg and industry investment. Throughout the process, we will solicit feedback from industry and partners to measure the strategy's success. YES! Winnipeg is positioning our city and our companies to win the increasingly competitive global battle to attract and retain talent. courtesy New Media Manitoba Cory Aronec YES! WINNIPEG 17
