CIS - Employment Aid

Help with understanding the local labour market, career explorations, incremental goal setting and planning, assistance with credential recognition, information about education programs, job referrals, interview preparation, mentorship, networking, internship, job shadowing opportunities and hard and soft skills training including Canadian work place culture and profession-specific ethics. Tremendous efforts have been made in the past year to assist Syrian refugees in securing employment. Settlement Staff has brought in speakers to illustrate the realities of the Canadian labour market, particularly around the regulation of trades, workers rights and responsibilities, and local workplace culture. As of this report, 91% of the Syrian men we serve are working, or pursuing self-employment with the help of mentors.

CIS - Employment Aid is open Monday-Thursday 8:30am - 4pm, Friday 9am - 2pm.
