This is our most challenging project yet and we want you to take advantage of the benefits it will have to offer. The peer helpers will be contacting you to see if you are interested in participating in our Employer Outreach Program. The objective of this program is to research and contact employers that are hiring and send them a marketing package with resumes from our workers in transition that have been utilizing the action centre. We will be working hard to promote the skills you have to offer them and opening opportunities for interviews and jobs.
What do you need to do to participate?
- Inform the action centre if you are interested in participating
- Make sure we have the most up to date copy of your resume
- Tell us what type of job(s) you are looking for
- Sign the updated Release of Information of Consent Form
If you haven’t been contacted by one of our peer helpers give us a call at the action centre

Needs Assessment
Why do a Needs Assessment?
Needs assessments are important to determine the the education and work history of a worker in transition. This assessment will help determine what the clients needs are and how to help them reach their goals for the future. It is the first step in a clients relationship with the action centre. These interviews help the counsellors and resume writer better understand what your goals are and how they can best serve you.
As well, the information gathered from these interviews will help the Adjustment Committee determine what kind of programs will be offered. This may include training for; resume writing and letters of introduction (cover letters), preparing for job interviews, unemployment and stress management, effective communication skills, networking, computer basics, job searching etc.
If you have not yet had a needs assessment done, please contact the action centre and make an appointment with one of our counsellors.
