JobSolution

THE JOBSOLUTION PROGRAM FOR ADULTS UP TO AGE 30

JOB COUNSELLING

We start with personal job counselling to see how job-ready you are, and what you think you need to find a job you would be good at and able to keep. Our counselling helps you identify what may stop you from getting a job, as well as identify your strengths and skills:

  • Career planning
  • Learn how to focus your job search
  • Use your own support network to find work
  • Interview skills
  • Workplace Safety and Health

When you’re job-ready, we can help connect you with employers, and we provide tools to help you complete your own successful job search:

  • Assistance in resume writing
  • Updating and printing resumes
  • Phone message service
  • Escorting participants to job interviews

SUPPORTS FOR KEEPING A JOB

  • Supports to help you find and keep a job:
  • We visit work sites to help ensure success in keeping a job
  • We provide ongoing help with conflict resolution, time management and workplace issues
  • We don’t give up (and neither should you): we stay with you if you lose your job and then we try again

SUPPORTS FOR A GOOD LIFE

We can help support you in coping with issues that may be keeping you from a job.

We help in many ways – helping you move to a stable place, doctors’ appointments, connecting you to community resources.

Most JobSolution participants find and maintain a job through our program.

We also believe success is in life is more than having a job (although that is pretty important!)

We think a good life includes:

  • Taking on challenges
  • Taking on adult responsibilities and being good citizens
  • Having hopes and dreams
  • Having people who believe in you and respect you
  • A strong peer support network
  • Helping out in the community
  • Feeling safe and keeping healthy
  • Ongoing training and education

Your life can change: JobSolution can be there for you as you deal with ongoing challenges in life. Our participants are always welcome to come in for a cup of coffee, to update a resume, to get job leads, and to talk to someone about what’s happening in your life.
