A recent blog article about PTSC-Online membership raised a couple of points about seeking emergency management related employment. I am reposting the question and suggestions from other members here so they will be easier to find by others who are pursuing emergency management related employment.

I realize this blog is meant for posting notices of available jobs and employment wanted but I could not think of a more appropriate place to put this information so it would be seen by those who may benefit from it.

FIRST POST:

I have been actively seeking EM job opportunities in the GTA with little success.  Are there any mentorships or internships available where I can receive guidance, so I may leverage my experience to contribute more to EM?

I appreciate any advice, guidance or comments.

    Just a further thought on Lyn's question. If we can get enough folks in the emergency management field using this blog there should not be any need to use, or incur the cost of using an agency.
