Workshops & Training

START HERE: Individual Training Plans

This is the first step to access supported and funded services.

You’ll meet with a client service worker—either in person, via Zoom or over the phone.

You’ll share your employment goals and we’ll match those up with some options for training and education to consider so you can reach those goals.

You’ll get a flexible plan which outlines:

1) Steps you can take
2) A reasonable timeline
3) Your role as client
4) Our role as client support worker.

NEXT STEPS: Career Cruising

We’ll set up with a personalized account that gives you access to a secure online portal.

This portal is your ticket to most comprehensive education and job-search and training database in Canada.

You’ll be able to

  • track your training and job search activities,
  • compare educational options,
  • learn about different careers
  • and find jobs.

You can even access training specific to your learning style to level up your study habits.
