At the beginning of June, Canada’s oldest retail company announced that it would be cutting 2000 jobs across North America.
Canadian employees of Hudson’s Bay will be affected by this movement, which will be fully implemented by 2018. triOS College Business Technology Healthcare in Ontario and Eastern College in Atlantic Canada will be stepping up to provide assistance to those being displaced by offering a $1500 bursary towards a diploma program of their choice.
The job cuts at Hudson’s Bay, along with other announced retail chain store closures such as HMV, Danier, Jacob, Smart Set, and others has impacted thousands of Canadians. Both triOS and Eastern College recognize this impact and are determined to continue to provide support to individuals who require job-retraining.
“As career colleges, triOS and Eastern College provide training to get laid-off employees back into the workforce,” says Stuart Bentley, the President of triOS Corporation. “Our bursary is a financial contribution to help people explore their career options.”
Both colleges are encouraging retail employees to visit triOS.com and EasternCollege.ca to access the bursary. The bursary is applicable to all 9 triOS and 4 Eastern College locations throughout Ontario and in Atlantic Canada. Simply print out the bursary and find the nearest location on our websites.
The bursary will help alleviate some of the stress for retail workers that have found themselves out of work and are looking at career options. Retail workers are encouraged to contact the campus nearest them and schedule a free career training counselling session.
triOS and Eastern College have helped thousands of people get back into the workforce by offering specific career training, year-round starting points and substantial career services assistance to prepare students for starting a new career upon graduation.
