Your path to meaningful employment starts here.
We work with newcomers who are eligible to work in Canada to build meaningful careers and community connections. Our Employment Program helps you feel more confident, prepared, and connected at every step of your employment journey.
This isn’t about getting any job, it’s about helping you find the right job. One that matches your skills, supports your long-term goals, and helps you grow. But success takes effort, and this program works best when you show up ready to participate. We’ll walk with you through the process, offering one-on-one support, tools, and tailored guidance along the way.
