  • Announcing Our New Partnership with Magnet

    As part of our simple goal: helping businesses succeed, this program provides more business growth knowledge and tools to our employer partners. 

    Key to the partnership between Magnet and the PEC Chamber is connecting businesses of all sizes and industries to opportunities to hire young talent and access wage subsidies through the Student Work Placement Program (SWPP). Funded by the Government of Canada, SWPP allows employers to access wage subsidies of up to $7,500 when they hire Canadian post-secondary students for work integrated learning experiences.

The PEC Chamber is proud to announce a new partnership with Magnet to provide more business growth knowledge and tools to our employer partners.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing constant shifts in the business landscape. As a result, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing challenges to adapt, all while continuing to hire and train new talent and grow their operations.

Magnet uses its intelligent matching technology to bring talent and relevant business growth information directly to you, saving your business time and effort.

The Magnet experience is unique thanks to customization. When you create your free account, the details you provide (location, industry, markets served, etc.) helps us match you to grants, wage subsidies, relief programs, policy updates, networking and learning opportunities, and hiring initiatives that are directly relevant to you.

Magnet’s partnerships with Export Development Canada, Business Development Bank of Canada, Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) and the Future Skills Centre helps us bring you content from a range of trusted sources on one platform.
