Marathon’s New Employer!
“If you are an employer and ever thought about using Employment Services, just go for it, it's worth while!" Jim Marshall was considering moving to Marathon and opening up a new business. He approached Employment Services to speak to an Employment Advisor last fall. He had many questions regarding our local labour market, workforce, and the feasibility of running a manufacturing business in Marathon. He left with all his questions answered and the confidence that his staff requirements could be met locally. He also was informed that Job Connect and Employment Services can offer wage subsidy programs, interview assistance and individual job training plans. Having the confidence to make the big move, Jim is now a new business owner in Marathon. Jim hired two employees under Wage Subsidy, one with Job Connect and the other under Superior Connections.
"The financial assistance definitely helped in training new staff and starting a new business. Both employees have been very impressive, and reliable. I had to leave for four weeks. During that time they continued with the project and took full responsibility for the project. The Staff at Job Connect and Employment Services helped in making it all work."
Jim is located in Marathon Industrial Court. Jim makes prefab cottages and structures that can ship flat to the building site. This has many advantages especially when there is a tight timeline or a site that is difficult to reach. He also has a very strong background in cabinet making and is now taking orders for local residential and commercial projects.
