Employer Registry Videos

EmployerRegistry.ca presents new videos spotlighting experiential learning connections
Employers, educators, and Passport to Prosperity coordinators from across Ontario are working together to bring new experiential learning opportunities to students, supporting new programs like the Specialist High Skills Major. These four videos – which debuted at the Spring 2009 OCEA Conference – celebrate stories of success from different areas of the province, putting the spotlight on the great work done to make connections between young people and employers, facilitated through EmployerRegistry.ca. The stories told in these videos would not be possible without the dedication, innovation and enthusiasm of all those involved in experiential learning programs.

EmployerRegistry.ca is a provincial online community that was launched in April 2008. Supported by the Ontario Ministry of Education, the online system is designed to make interaction between employers and educators easier than ever before. For more information, or to learn how to sign up and start making new connections, visit EmployerRegistry.ca today.
