Northern College Community Employment Services

What Northern College Community Employment Services does

Northern College Community Employment Services is a publicly-funded, non-profit employment services organization based in New Liskeard, Ontario. It operates the JobsIn Temiskaming Shores regional job portal and serves two customer groups: job seekers (career planning, resume assistance, job matching) and regional employers (free job posting and recruitment support) across Far Northeast Ontario. It is an approved Employment Ontario service provider affiliated with Northern College, with services delivered free of charge and funded in part by the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada. The organization also operates an Employee Sharing Tool that matches employers with similar skill needs to share non-full-time workers, enabling employees to consolidate hours toward full-time roles.

The product surface consists of the JobsIn Temiskaming Shores portal — a standard regional job-board platform with posting, browsing, and account-management functionality — and the Employee Sharing Tool workforce-matching module. No proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capability, or external integrations are disclosed. The portal is operated inside the broader Far Northeast Training Board (FNETB) network, which extends to at least eight communities: Chapleau, Cochrane, Hearst, James Bay Coast, Kapuskasing, Kirkland Lake, Temiskaming Shores, and Timmins. Distribution combines a single physical office at 290 Armstrong Street, New Liskeard (Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.) with the online portal.

The revenue model is a government-grant-funded professional services operation with no commercial pricing. Services are free to both job seekers and employers; sustainability is driven by Employment Ontario funding and FNETB coordination rather than fees, subscriptions, or advertising. The organization operates with a small team of approximately 5 employees and serves geographic segments across agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and services in the Temiskaming Shores / Far Northeast Ontario region.

Regional players

• Timmins Economic Development Corporation: Economic development organization for the Timmins region, featured as a JobsIn partner. Provides employer-attraction and workforce-development services in an adjacent sub-region of Far Northeast Ontario, overlapping partially with NCCES's catchment.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Professional network and job platform increasingly used by regional employers (e.g., municipalities, healthcare, larger employers) to post roles. Competes with NCCES for professional and white-collar listings in Northern Ontario.
• Indeed: The dominant global job search engine and aggregator. Many local employers in Temiskaming Shores post roles on Indeed as well, which competes for job-seeker attention through sheer inventory size, sponsored listings, and brand recognition.
• Service Canada (Job Bank): The federal government's national job-matching platform and Employment Ontario co-funder. Job Bank offers free nationwide job posting and matching, representing the largest publicly funded competitor to NCCES's local portal — albeit with less regional specificity.
• Employment Ontario: The Ontario provincial network of employment services providers of which NCCES is one node. Employment Ontario sets funding, mandates, and quality standards and contracts similar community-based service providers across the province, making it both the funder and the broader competitive umbrella.

Direct peers

• Northern College: The community college with which NCCES is directly affiliated. Northern College delivers postsecondary training across multiple campuses in Northern Ontario and shares branding, infrastructure, and student pipelines with the Community Employment Services unit.
• Professions North/Nord: Partner program of FNETB that uses the JobsIn portal to connect internationally trained professionals with Northern Ontario employers. Specializes in immigrant employment integration — a vertical adjacent to NCCES's general job-seeker mandate.
• Workforce North / Calstone Search Group: Featured as a 'trusted partner' of the JobsIn network and operates workforce recruitment services in Northern Ontario. Directly comparable employment-services peer serving the same regional employer base through complementary recruitment channels.
• JobsInTimmins / Far Northeast Training Board (FNETB): The flagship and direct parent network of the JobsIn Temiskaming Shores portal. FNETB operates the Explore Your Options / JobsIn portal network across Far Northeast Ontario (Chapleau, Cochrane, Hearst, James Bay Coast, Kapuskasing, Kirkland Lake, Temiskaming Shores, Timmins) — sharing the same platform, brand, and employer base as NCCES.

Emerging players

• College Boreal: Francophone college serving Northern Ontario, listed as a JobsIn portal partner. Operates parallel employment-related services for the Francophone community, creating both partnership opportunities and competition for French-speaking job seekers.
