EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING – Looking for Work on the Floodway Expansion Project

The Red River Floodway Expansion Project will create thousands of direct and spin-off jobs for Manitobans. It will also present an opportunity to develop training opportunities for local residents.

The Manitoba Floodway Authority (MFA) has partnered with Employment Manitoba, a division of Competitiveness, Training and Trade, on a Job Referral Service (JRS) that is designed to match qualified individuals interested in working on the floodway project with contractors looking for workers. The JRS is designed to help facilitate and streamline the hiring process for the floodway project, while encouraging the public, and in particular, Aboriginal people, women, visible minorities and persons with disabilities, to apply for work on the project.

The MFA is inviting individuals interested in working on the floodway project to contact any of the 16 Employment Manitoba Centres located throughout the province.  All those who have already applied are reminded to renew their applications every six months. To apply for work or renew your application, please contact Employment Manitoba at 945-0575 (in Winnipeg) or toll-free at 1(866)332-5077 or visit the Floodway Job Referral Service at www.gov.mb.ca/jobreferral.
