Canadian non-profit organization Apparel Connexion will host on Wednesday March 22 the second edition of its national apparel career expo in Montreal, Quebec.
 
Baptized HR Mode 2017, the full-day event features more than 100 job opportunities, onsite interviews, professional networking, conferences, specialized mentoring, free workshops and more.
 
Jobs opportunities will pertain to the fashion, apparel and textile industry and will include openings from educational institutions like LaSalle College and some of Canada’s biggest retail brands, such as Canada Goose, Aldo, Joseph Ribkoff, Yoga Jeans, Le chateau and more.

 
The industry-led, independent, organisation represents the HR needs of the apparel manufacturing industry in Canada, but is especially involved in a number of initiatives in Montreal. Apparel Connexion works closely with Mmode. Montreal’s industrial cluster that aims to reassert the city’s place in the global fashion market. Mmode espouses a four pillar action plan, which includes finding solutions to workforce issues and assist in developing training and mentorship programs. Most recently, they participated in "Forum Main-d'œuvre mmode", a conference related to employment at LaSalle College in Montreal.

The event will take place in Montreal at the Palais des congrès from 9:30 am to 5 pm. An initiative of Apparel Connexion, it is being organized together with CSMO Textile and mmode, as well as with the special collaboration of the Conseil québécois du commerce de détail.
