Living & Working in Prince George
Welcome to the Living and Working in Prince George, Prince George's recruitment and retention program. We have a team of recruitment specialists who are dedicated to the betterment of Prince George through the recruitment of people to our community. Our team is here to assist you in your recruiting efforts by offering a variety of products and services.
The members of the Living and Working in Prince George committee are volunteers who value all that our community has to offer. We also believe that promoting our community is a worthwhile effort and most of our time is spent on doing just that. Consequently, we have very little time to do more outside of our Mission Statement, Our Purpose and our Program's Principal Objectives. Assisting individuals who visit this website with job searches is not in our mandate therefore, marketing your skills through the Living & Working in Prince George program by forwarding résumés to us is not the most effective way to find a job in Prince George. We have included the Job Search Tools section to assist you in your job search efforts.
The Living and Working in Prince George program is hosted by the Prince George Chamber of Commerce. We would like to thank Initiatives Prince George for providing the initial funding for this program.
