Abigail Fulton: The job fairs were organized by the B.C. Construction Association and drew about 800 people in Belfast Oct. 31 and about 2,000 others in Dublin Nov. 2, said Abigail Fulton, vice-president of the B.C. Construction Association, according to Huffington Post. "These are highly skilled positions, in specific trades where there are critical shortages, and these people, for the most part, particularly in B.C., are coming in as permanent residents," said Fulton and VANCOUVER - Western Canadian construction companies that are struggling to hire highly skilled workers will be offering jobs to almost 500 skilled Irish trades people, following a recruitment drive in Dublin and Belfast. Looking to hire were 28 companies mostly from B.C. and Saskatchewan, although two came from Alberta, added Fulton. A college and two construction associations also set up booths at the event.
