No cost, one-to-one job coaching and certificate training to help you move forward and achieve success.
Has your job recently ended? Have you retired too soon? Perhaps you’re living in a community impacted by mill closures and shift reductions. Or maybe you’re not getting responses to your applications, or need help with navigating the job world in today’s times.
Monica was recently laid off from a job she held for 30 years. Because it had been ages since she applied for a job, she was overwhelmed with how to begin. With the help of a no-cost NexusBC job coach and some new certificates, Monica found confidence in herself and her skills. She is now happily working a new job that she loves.
Whatever your circumstances are, we understand.
We also know that the longer your job search goes on, the more likely you are to feel less confident and lose momentum.
Our no-cost job coaches are here to help. Whether you need to upgrade your skills, take new training, or learn how to promote yourself, we help build your confidence and position you for success.
Financial supports available throughout the program.
We can pay for certificates such as First Aid, FoodSafe, WHMIS, Forklift Training, or for college certificate programs that include Medical Office Assistant, Landscape Horticulture, Building Service Worker, Bookkeeping, Office Administration, and so much more.
We can also help with employment supports that address your barriers to participating in training and employment. Examples may include counselling, mentoring, child care, transportation, disability supports, work experience, wage subsidies and equipment.
