Having services available through a central one-stop employment program has enabled efficient service and great successes both with and for clients.
The Employment Program of B.C. is a comprehensive program designed to meet local labour market needs and to assist job seekers achieve employment as quickly as possible, and to become more independent. It is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.
Did you know that over 90,000 individuals have walked through our doors across our four offices since program launch? They have accessed everything from our self-serve resource area to individualized needs assessments and customized services.
Did you know that our online job board features an average of over 170 jobs and over 18,000 hits per day? We liaise with employers on a daily basis and are focused on promoting work opportunities in this great region. Did you know that in the last year we have helped clients go back to school to train for a new job, build experience through on the job training, develop customized opportunities, or become self-employed!
