Future Directions

Demand for employment services is surging as Canada grapples with a challenging economy that’s making it even more difficult for newcomers and marginalized jobseekers to find and retain jobs. Shifts in global trade, a shortage of workers resulting from an aging workforce and immigration policies, and advances in technology that are transforming skills required by workers, are making it even more imperative to have strong and innovative employment supports. By delivering relevant and timely employment services to all people who need them, we can build a resilient workforce that reflects Canada’s diversity, skills and experience.

Focus on underserved communities

Newcomers and marginalized populations have significant contributions to make in supporting our labour market. In the coming years, ACCES Employment will continue to provide pathways to jobs. To achieve a truly inclusive workforce in Canada, we’ll put particular emphasis on our underserved communities. We’ll work with those who face the most challenging barriers to employment and continue to find innovative ways to connect to those who should not be left behind.

Farhad Mansouri had many years of experience as a government water resources engineer when he arrived in Canada to escape the political unrest of Afghanistan in 2022. He knew he had the qualifications and skills to succeed in Canada, but wasn’t familiar with writing resumes, networking and how to target his search. Through the Engineering Connections online program, he received one-to-one mentoring and coaching from professionals in his field. He also benefitted from a resume review, interview skills training, and the ever-important art of how to network. He soon landed a job as a water resources specialist at South Nation River Conservation Authority.
“A big thank you to ACCES. I found the staff friendly and supportive. I completed the program feeling prepared and confident to navigate the Canadian job market. I recommend ACCES to everyone!”
