Work BC Centre Vernon
WorkBC offers free employment services for everyone seeking work. WorkBC centres provide a welcoming, safe and accessible environment and offer a wide range of services and supports, ranging from independent, self-serve information and resources to 1:1 personalized job counselling support, skills training, work experience and on-the-job support to help people prepare for, find and keep good jobs. WorkBC supports are not only for unemployed British Columbians but also for people who are underemployed or in a job where their hours are not stable, and for people whose work is not in line with their skills (sometimes referred to as precariously employed). Anyone in this situation will be able to connect with WorkBC to obtain assistance in finding a better job, which may include access to services such as skills upgrading, training, self-employment, and work experience programs.
Venue
The Prestige Vernon Lodge & Conference Centre offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that has kept guests coming back for decades. Affectionately known as ‘The Lodge’ by locals, it features a stunning garden atrium with the BX Creek flowing through, creating a peaceful and unique setting. With hundreds of plants thriving in the atrium, the Lodge offers a one-of-a-kind experience where nature and comfort blend seamlessly. As the largest event space in the Northern Okanagan, the Lodge is the ideal choice for conferences, weddings, and special events. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, you’ll appreciate our variety of room options, exceptional dining, and convenient location close to downtown Vernon. Prestige Vernon Lodge & Conference Centre would like to acknowledge that the land on which the hotel resides and where our guests visit today is the unceded, ancestral, traditional territory of the Okanagan Indian Band, home to Syilx/Okanagan people, the original stewards of these lands and those to whom we give thanks as our hosts.
