Getting there
Getting to work in Markham
Viva Purple and YRT route 1 run along Highway 7 through Markham Centre; Viva Green and the 24 Woodbine link the 404 office corridor to Don Mills station; the TTC's 53 Steeles East serves the Milliken Mills industrial area from Finch station. The Stouffville GO line stops at Milliken, Unionville, Centennial, Markham and Mount Joy.
Milliken Mills is the easiest industrial area in York Region to reach without a car: Milliken GO and the Steeles buses put most sites within a ten-minute walk. The 404 office parks are harder off-peak, though Viva covers weekdays well.
By car, the 404, 407 and Highway 7 put Richmond Hill, Vaughan and north Toronto within 20 minutes.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do you test skills?
Yes: typing, Word, Excel, Outlook and data-entry accuracy, at registration. Scores are shared with employers alongside your profile, which helps you get interviews for roles that match your strengths.
Are office jobs temporary or permanent?
Both, and often one becomes the other. Leave coverage and project roles are temporary; many employers convert good temporary staff to permanent after a set period.
Do you have bilingual roles?
Regularly. Bilingual French is the most common request; Cantonese, Mandarin, Tamil, Punjabi, Hindi and Spanish are also frequently sought for customer-service and front-desk roles.
