In response to the labour gap being experienced across the
agriculture industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nova Scotia Federation
of Agriculture has launched the NS Ag Job Portal. This portal will help to
connect employers and job seekers through a job board. Farm and processing jobs
can be posted and eligibility to use this platform is not limited to members of
the NSFA. The following message from NSFA details the different ways people can
take advantage of the job portal:
To
address the labour gap that Nova Scotia farms will experience
this year, NSFA and our Agriculture Sector Program have launched a
job portal. This portal has three parts;
1.
An employee registration,
where those who are interested in working on farms can submit their
information, relevant skills, and areas they are able to work. They will be
sent relevant jobs in their areas to apply for. Those looking for
employment can visit nsagjobs.ca.
2.
An employer post a job form,
where farms can submit job openings on their operation. These will be reviewed
by staff and then added to the job board.
Don’t hesitate to contact NSFA directly if you have any
questions.
