Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has launched an online employment portal to provide links to resources for job seekers who are interested in working on farms, in distribution, food processing, and other related occupations. Resources will include national and regional employment websites, and information on skills and training.
AAFC will be promoting this campaign on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. CPMA is inviting members to share the content on social media channels to help encourage Canadians to Step Up to the Plate in their community and seek out job opportunities in the agriculture and food sector.
