Next Steps – Employment Services

Next Steps Employment Service team will work directly with participants to assist them with achieving success on their employment journey. Staff can provide help to referred (including self-referrals) participants, such as resume building, job search, job interview preparation and securing funding for upgrading/pursuing higher education.

Eligibility

Any person requiring assistance returning to the labour force. This program offers both individual and group interventions. Long term follow-up services to all participants completing any of the above training programs are available for an indefinite time period.

Referrals

Referrals are accepted from the participants themselves, parole officers, probation officers, classification officers, social workers, counsellors and/or family members.   All participants are assessed through an interview process.

Employability Skills Development

Employment Services focuses on career self-exploration/personal evaluation, skills enhancement, and job maintenance skills.

Employment Support is offered to assist participants in securing job placements.  This last step of career development is often the most daunting and challenging for participants.  This service bridges a critical gap in a participant’s transition to independent, pro-social living by liaising with potential employers and participants through initial hiring and job maintenance.
