Secretary (Former Employee) – Niagara Falls, ON – 4 September 2017
It was fun to work as a secretary for a language program even for only a month. I felt comfortable being around the teachers and kids and never for a second stressed about the job due to its simplicity. The only complain was the long drive, over 40km away from my home.
Educational Assitant (Former Employee) – Ridgeway, ON – 9 January 2017
over the 12 years I worked at sherkston shores, I learned a lot about electricity, plumbing, construction, wood working, driving heavy equipment, cleaning and customer service. Its a great starting place to work when you are young and you get to work outside on the beach and make great relationships with the home owners.

Occasional Teacher (Current Employee) – Niagara Region – 11 March 2013
When I arrive at work, I see if there are any customers that need to be greeted or helped with purchases (bagging and/or cashing out) or winery information. I find out if there are any specific promotions going on. I check to see if the tasting bar needs dirty glasses to go to the back if any restocking needs to be done (glasses, cases of wine, grape seed oil, From May until October help with bus tours by giving tours and hosting or helping in the hospitality room, or cleaning up after a tour. I love learning new things and helping people chose a wine that they enjoy.
The best part about working at the winery is that people are there by choice and are interested in learning about the wine industry and are in a good mood.
Pros
very busy, day goes fast, nice people, fun job, always learning
An on-going productive workplace, with positive rewards.
Cooperative Education Facilitator (Current Employee) – Niagara Falls, ON – 7 July 2012
Typical day at work is meeting with students, counsellors, and my co-workers as a team, discussing the future interests of each individual I have on my co-op list. In between that I contact employers to place students in their area of interest. In the past 17 years as a co-op teacher I have learned so many areas in the work world such as hairdressing,foods and hospitality,auto body,Personal Support Workers..the list goes on. My management team are very positive and very supportive. The hardest part of my job is receiving a phone call that a student has been injured. Most rewarding part of my job is running into students I haven't heard from in years, and hearing their success stories.
Pros
supportive co-workers
Cons
our adult -ed contracts are only per module or term (7 weeks)
