WorkBC Centre Vancouver North East

Raichal as been excellent at providing support to find employment, she was very helpful with everything.

Offered me help with an employment program I found on my own. The initial intake person I spoke with was helpful an professional, but the case worker who was assigned to me after was worse than useless.When I mentioned issues of sexism and harassment in my workplace she told me I should be grateful for the experience. I was passed on to another case worker who kept calling me either two hours late or earlier than our agreed upon meeting times, when I asked about programs I was interested in, was told I wasn't a good fit" but provided with no suggestions or alternatives.Instead of helping me

Seem helpful, although ATM results are not yet apparent

One of the best Workbc centers I've been to. The staff there I find are very experienced/empathetic in helping both newcomers and Canadians. Even if you are employed part-time/underemployed/or looking for new work opportunities, they will help.

I've been a client of Raichal's for over a few months now, and she has gone above & beyond in supporting me getting back on my feet with my career & training options. Raichal is very succinct and detailed in her communication; she has left no stone unturned in all the tasks that needed to be done in order for me to move ahead on my journey with WorkBC. I sincerely appreciate her organizational skills and her attention to where I was at in the process. She has been patient, kind, and in tune with my needs the whole way through. If there was one second of self-doubt, Raichal would meet me with 3 seconds of trust & faith in me. I am so incredibly grateful that I've crossed paths with her, and highly recommend her for anyone who is in a similar place that I was at. Thank you so much Raichal!Also, a big thank you to Ashraf in the Resource Room, who was always willing to answer my questions and was another source of support along my journey. You guys are the best!

I came to this particular WorkBC office after being unemployed for close to a year. Friends told me that places like this can give you the resources to help you find a job.There are two aspects to me experience, one positive, the other negative and by my score, you can tell which made the bigger impact.If you’re looking for resources, such as resume building and interview practice, this is an invaluable service. My two-week workshop had its fair share of new immigrants and I am certain it benefited them.But when it actually came to helping me find work or to get further education to help me land a job, my experience with this office was a major problem.The province offers grants for people to get funds to pay for more schooling but this process takes a few months to go through. I went through this process. I did the required research, I applied to number of jobs, contacted companies for information, etc… I even got accepted to the school I felt where I could gain the necessary education to get me back on my feet. I did my part, but WorkBC didn’t do theirs.I gave the necessary receipts but this office kept dodging my emails and claiming my receipts were not correct. I even hand-delivered the necessary proof of payment back in September, they contacted my school (which the school responded back), but I never got the grants I should have received.What made matters worse is that my caseworker never gave any sign that I actually mattered. He asked me to send bi-weekly reports of the companies I applied to. I am certain he never once followed back with those companies to find out why I didn’t get the job. I interviewed for jobs but unfortunately never got offered a job. You’d think your case worker would follow-up to find out what went wrong. For something connected with the government, wouldn’t they want me working than ‘milking the province’?If you’re new to Canada, I would recommend going to WorkBC to get an understanding of what is required to get a job here. If you’re looking to get extra knowledge/education, just do it on your own.

My case manager and trainers were awesome.... work BC was a solace for me as a new comer to Canada .Thank u all!
