Assisting in Your Job Search

Your job search begins with one of our Employment Counsellors. Together you will identify barriers and develop an employment action plan that will lead you toward employment.

An Initial Assessment and Employment Action Plan
Our Employment Counsellors will meet with you one-on-one and genuinely listen to your situation. They will help you identify the barriers that need to be overcome and assist you in determining the steps you can take to move forward. By the end of this appointment you will have a plan that will lead you toward employment.
