We are a group of professionals committed to helping you find and keep the “right” job.

People with diverse backgrounds, such as labourers, technicians, secretaries, sales clerks and professionals.  We specialize in serving people with physical disabilities, work-related injuries, chronic illness, traumatic brain injuries or mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia.

There are a wide variety of jobs people obtain, such as:

• Program Administrator
• Secretary
• Trades & Transportation

• Construction Labourer

These are only a few examples. The type of job you secure will depend on your skills, abilities and interests!

We will help you explore retraining options. This can include having you complete interest inventories, aptitude and achievement assessments that will help you and your counsellor gain a good picture of where you are at now, and what some options are for the future.

If you need formal training, from a college for example, we will assist you in connecting with the college and determining if the funding is available for you. We can also access funding from the provincial government to help create on-the-job training opportunities for you with employers.

The length of time of services depends on your needs.  Sometimes people work with us for as little as a month, and other times we may work together for up to a year.

We help you find the job leads and sometimes will refer you to an employer.  Ultimately, the decision for being hired (and taking the job) is up to you.

We want to work with you to help you find a job.  Your counselor will establish with you what you need to do to find a job.

We have a current database of over 200 employers in Grande Prairie and area.  To keep connected with employers we meet with them regularly.  We not only coach job seekers about their job search, we search for jobs ourselves!

We have funding through the provincial government department of Alberta Employment, Industry and Immigration.  In some instances, people may also access our services through funding from insurance companies, or employers.  Contact us and we’ll find out if you are eligible for funding.

Call us at 539-1072 to schedule an appointment or complete our “Request For Services Form".  Dropping by doesn’t always work for us because we may be with clients or out of the office meeting with employers.   We will call you back and book an appointment with you to see a counsellor.
