A group in Lunenburg County is creating a business think tank.
They’re hoping to close the gap between job seekers and employers in the region.
Project leader Bernice Theriault says people might not realize how many jobs are available.
“Why do we have people leaving this area?” she says, “and why is the mindset out there that we have no jobs, when we have employers looking for qualified and skilled employees?”
Theriault says the think tank will bring human resources professionals together.
She says they have specific questions to help connect employees to jobs.
The first gathering will be next Thursday at the NSCC.
