The Manitoba Youth Job Centre held an open house yesterday afternoon in Portage la Prairie. Youth engagement leader Kristen Letkeman says by the time they were halfway through the event about ten people had come and gone.

Information and snacks available"We've had students come in looking to fill out registration forms, and then just some people looking to fill out job order forms just for casual work during the summer," she explains.

Letkeman says they're getting the word out about the centre after having been open for two weeks. They're in operation until the end of August and you can visit and learn more of their services. She adds several students came to receive help in filling out the forms and learned what jobs are available.

She notes their services are free, and if you didn't make it to the open house you can call and make an appointment to learn how they can help you. Letkeman's number is (204) 870-0363 or  Email her: portagelaprairiemyjc@gov.mb.ca
