Through a grant from Alberta Immigration and Multiculturalism, the Municipality of Jasper has created several resources for local employers to use in their onboarding processes.
The onboarding process includes the process of advertising a job, interviewing, hiring, welcoming and training new employees. These resources are meant to help make this long process easier, more efficient, and more inclusive for employers.
You can download, customize and share these templates with your company’s logo or header. These are meant to be ideal starting points for you to share with your new employees.
