Do you wish you could break into the Hi Tech job market but are frustrated
that employers are looking for working experience or formal training in
such languages as C++ or Java?

ON-SITE may be a solution for you.  ON-SITE is looking for candidates
WITHOUT established hi-tech credentials but with appropriate technical
backgrounds and interests and with high degrees of comfort with computer
use.

You must be in receipt or eligible for Canadian Employment Insurance (EI)
benefits to participate.  There is no cost to the candidate.

ON-SITE is a national job creation partnership between industry and
government and is placing hundreds of unemployed candidates with private
sector firms for 6 month terms.  Salaries are paid through EI.  Although
there is no guarantee of placement, more than 70% of those who are placed
do get ongoing employment (30%+ with original employer, 40%+ in a similar
position with another firm).

ON-SITE is currently seeking candidates for two types of positions.

1)  Technology Adoption:  Candidates are placed to assist firms in
adopting off-the-shelf technology in order to implement greater business
automation.  Examples include:  --helping construction firms get on-line
so they can receive, transmit and deal with electronic drawings,  --assist
retailers in establishing automated inventory control systems,  --aid
business� in setting up database systems to manage their affairs,  --etc.

For this type of position desirable qualifications include education, work
experience or significant personal interest (including time spent) in
internet development, database management/development, etc.  A business or
marketing/sales background may be an advantage, as would significant
experience with specialized software applications.

2)  Technology Development:  Candidates are placed with advanced
technology firms in internship positions.  These placements are intended
to result in software development work experience and act as a
�foot-in-the-door� for those with ability but no formal software
development training.

For this type of position desirable qualifications include degrees in
science, engineering, physics, etc. and demonstrable experience and
comfort with working with software code.
