Sault College Employment Solutions has a new location

After more than two decades in the same location, Sault College Employment Solutions (SSM) has moved! The new office is located in the Queenscentre Building at 477 Queen Street East, Suite 203. The office is open to the public and guests can enter through the Bay Street doors.

With locations in Sault Ste. Marie and Blind River, Sault College Employment Solutions continues to provide free employment support for both job seekers and employers in Sault Ste. Marie, Blind River and along the North Shore.

“Our Employment Solutions teams have been valued members of the Sault College community for more than two decades," said Dr. Ron Common, President, Sault College. "The expertise and services they offer within our community and along the North Shore have far-reaching and long-lasting impacts on various stakeholders. Whether it be wraparound services for our graduates, opportunities for training and upskilling, specialized employment assistance for job seekers, or individualized support for local employers, they have and continue to play a vital role in strengthening our local workforce. Employment Solutions will continue their great work at its new, welcoming SSM location, and I encourage community members to reach out to see first-hand the many ways they can provide support."
