The hiring fair will take place on Saturday, May 9, at the new Italian Centre in Northland Village Shopping Centre, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. At the event, you will have the chance to meet hiring managers in person and explore a range of open positions across the store.

About the Italian Centre

According to the Italian Centre Shop, the family-owned Alberta business is known for offering European food products and creating an environment centred around food, culture, and community.

The company operates locations in Calgary and Edmonton. It focuses on offering customers a wide selection of imported goods while maintaining a strong in-store experience across its bakery, café, deli, and grocery departments.

Alongside its retail operations, the company is committed to helping employees build experience as they go. It’s a hands-on environment where training is part of the job, and staff often get the chance to learn skills across different departments, rather than staying in one role.

Overall, this fair is a great opportunity if you’re starting and looking to gain experience in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment. There are plenty of opportunities to learn on the job, pick up new skills, and get a feel for different areas of retail and food service.

So get out there, show up with confidence, and see what happens.

Good luck, Calgary!
