It was highlighted on numerous occasions that local people were finding it difficult to find a source of local job vacancies.  ENC agreed to develop a tool to assist.  This is a FREE service available to anyone looking for work in North Canterbury or any companies who have a vacancy in their North Canterbury business.

It was identified that there were significant barriers to businesses in North Canterbury training and upskilling their staff.  ENC is actively working with clusters of businesses to assist them with their training needs and where possible identify areas where these businesses can collaborate with other clusters.
