Employment Opportunities At DMS Property Management

Background

The DMS Group is a leading provider of property management services in Ontario with a client base that covers over 100 multi-residential apartment buildings. The DMS “Work Experience and Apprenticeship Program” is directed toward youth in the communities that we serve to provide opportunities to gather work experience and to learn about the property management industry as a possible career path.

DMS provides opportunities for youth to become involved in the Property Management industry through Volunteering and through Apprenticeship employment. This program is designed as a progressive path for teenagers and young adults to develop work skills, build experience and establish a foundation of employment as a basis for continuous career development.

Volunteer opportunities may include: assistance in a property administration office; participation in tenant recreation programming; developing and delivering “Green Building” environmental projects; and many other possibilities.

DMS will identify eligible opportunities in its managed communities and post on building bulletin boards. Youth will also be encouraged to self-identify projects or activities that they feel would suit their own interests and abilities.

Each youth volunteer will be matched with a member of the DMS management team as their mentor and supervisor to ensure that the experience is monitored and performed in a responsible and meaningful manner. Each youth volunteer will receive a letter of commendation along with a performance review.

Apprenticeship opportunities will be identified in DMS managed communities and posted on the building bulletin boards. Apprenticeship positions will be either full time or part time; will be for fixed contract periods ranging from three to six months; and will be paid based upon an hourly rate.

Each Apprentice will be provided with a confirmation of employment letter, a recommendation letter and a performance review at the end of each contract term.
