The Career Foundation

I applied for a school program but I was not in the position to at the time when I received the package. Cory forwarded me the information for a potential position with a company requesting a resume if I was interested.They definitely helped me do the ground work. It’s not an easy time to find a job and they definitely helped me find something that I could potentially turn I career if the company promotes within :)There’s a lot of resources available, although I have no direct experience with the content it’s nice that it is there for others in a nice ordered fashion.I spoke with another woman later on to finish some paperwork that should completed to help keep organizations like this alive.They definitely need to consider changing how they contact people over the phone as they all they use for long distance calling as it is is awful. trying to have a conversation with someone when it cuts out and makes it very difficult. However, the agent on the phone handled it tremendously!They were very kind and very genuine people just trying to their job, which is help find others a job! Totally worth it :)

The people at this establishment are some of the nicest most kind and endearing people you will ever meet, The program itself is a great learning experience, you learn useful skills such as smart serve first aid training even getting your security license, i really enjoyed my time in the program. on top of the good people working there the skills learned and how much help i received i would give the establishment and people 5 stars all day everyday and a special big thanks to Conrad and Ellie for getting me on the right track and getting me moving forward in life. i really am thankful and appreciative. you really wouldn't expect to meet such nice and kind people, i would recommend the program to anyone looking to push forward in life, meet new people and friends, because you become part of a family, so the hardest part will be leaving the program i guarantee that. but again thank you to these wonderful people.

We have had such great experiences with Career Foundation and COJG funding. The application process is very efficient and our team has greatly benefited from the trainings received as a result of COJG funding. Bassem from Career Foundation has been especially helpful, always answering our questions quickly and clearly and helping guide us through the process. COJG supports a company's investment in it's team and Career Foundation makes this a supportive process!

Working with career foundations Hamilton was truly a great experience. The team is really welcoming and supportive. David really sat with each of us to help us road map where we want to be in a couple years bases on our passions. I needed this because I’m so multifaceted, slowing down and narrowing in on one path is key to my success. Brent Chrislett who’s the job developer at career foundations is a gem. He works hard to find everyone jobs in their related field. I really felt heard and supported as Brent took us all around the city job hunting. You’ll also come across Shamara Grant, also a job developer. She’s welcoming and nurturing and will help you prepare for the interviews that will come your way by doing multiple mock trials with you until you are confident that you’ll be amazing in interviews. All in all I’m grateful for the team at career foundations Hamilton. They really helped me get on my feet and supported me in landing a job that’s in alignment with my passions. Your safe, encourages and supported when you attend career foundations Hamilton.

This program is amazing! They have staff who work really hard at helping you find employment that best suites your skills and interests. I left feeling better equipped with my interview skills and developed a more professional work ethic. The program helped subsidize my current employer to allow me to work full time and learn everything I needed to know to run the shop on my own. I wouldn't have had this opportunity to learn what I now know without the help of the completing the circle program. I am so thankful for the help I received and encourage anyone looking for skills training and employment to apply to this program!

As a young female it was incredibly challenging and intimidating to enter the workforce and begin a skilled trade apprenticeship. From learning to use basic hand tools all the way to to finding a job placement, The General Carpentry Pre-Apprenticeship Program supported me and ensured I was prepared for these challenges. With such a well developed program, talented instructors and helpful program directors, I was left with a great beginning foundation for the trade of carpentry. I strongly recommend this program for any young adult looking to pursue a career in carpentry.

My experience at the career foundation was nothing more than exemplary in every single aspect from the staff to the learning environment. It was well structured and very easy to adapt to. Now I am where I want to be and I’m moving towards closer to my employment dreams. This is all thanks to the successful launch pad of the career foundation and David who is very thoughtful, understanding and knowledgeable; he helped me set my goals for my future shamara has a wealth of knowledge and wonderful mentoring advice. Brent was my job developer extremely helpful and landing at successful placement. Conrad is very patient and kind and always provides a positive atmosphere in the mornings everyone needs that inspirational wake up call to chase your dreams count on Conrad to definitely lift the spirits build that moral. The job market can be very intimidating especially if you come from a non-traditional background from the employment sector standards but with the career foundation, I had access to many employment resources and real life examples from the community not only on just how to get your certifications but also understanding and navigating the interview process. They also taught individuals skills on how to be successful after you receive the job. My thoughts are that if you would like to be confident successful and ready for the emerging job market, the career foundation is definitely the right place to be!!

The staff here are friendly as well as professional; I think they're all well-suited to the different roles they have within the team. I was sceptical about the training for Completing the Circle, but it was time well-spent, even as a more experienced worker. As a funded placement program I considered this my best chance at finding full-time, long-term employment in the immediate future. You will be a more marketable candidate from finishing the training. I appreciated the earnestness of the team in helping me obtain employment, and met some good people also taking the program. I would definitely recommend taking advantage of such a program and contacting them for the specifics concerning it.

I had an amazing experience with Career Foundations! The staff was extremely helpful and professional. My job seeking skills were improved drastically and i have now found long term suitable employment. Would reccomend for anyone in need of employment, this is a spectacular opportunity!

An amazing company to work with! Urooba in particular is not only a fantastic asset to the company but a quality human in general! Thank you so much for all the support and guidance you've shown me since May. I'm so happy that programs like this exist!
