Jennifer Bleau | Co-Owner & Employment Specialist
After graduating high school, Jennifer quickly
established herself in a permanent role within the Federal Public Service
working for the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), all the while attending
Algonquin College on a part-time basis to further her education. While working for CBSA, she contributed
towards the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative which
successfully launched in 2009.
Unfortunately for her, her department and position was amongst the
19,200 other public servants affected by the Federal cuts conducted by the
Harper Government.
Considering it was still early in her career, she was
determined to find a better way of life, establish her own reputation, and make
a difference in her community.
Therefore, her and her fiancé, Chris Vandenbosch, who also worked for
the Federal Government, decided to take the leap of faith in opening a Staffing
Franchise called Express Employment Professionals. Jennifer always had a passion for helping
others and what better than a company who believed in helping as many people as
possible find meaningful and valuable work – it was a natural fit.
Open since May 2013, Express Ottawa continues to grow
year after year with a goal of being recognized as the best Staffing Firm in
Ottawa while contributing to community growth and development. Their current areas of expertise are Administration,
Accounting, Management, Light Industrial, Logistics/Transportation, and
more. Their services include Temporary
Staffing, Contract Staffing, Evaluation Hire, and Professional Search.
