Employment and Career Support for Women

Employment and Career Counselling

Securing employment is an indicator of an individual's ability to contribute to society. Immigrant women, women from racialized communities, and refugee women with foreign credentials face additional barriers to finding employment and re-establishing their careers when they settle in Canada.

Rexdale Women's Centre's employment counsellors assist women who are seeking to enter the workforce or who are looking to establish themselves in the professions for which they have been educated and trained. We provide assistance to women to determine their career and employment needs and goals. Assistance with resume building, job search and job interviews preparation, access to job fairs, literacy and numeracy skills building.

Linkages are made with other employment related services in the community, as well as English language classes, training, apprenticeship and volunteer opportunities. With the right connections and support, women spend less time trying to find and navigate a myriad of services and eligibility criteria.

Employment Support Groups for Women

Connecting, practicing and learning are a few methods utilized by the participants to develop realistic employment goals. Many women, in particular, immigrant women and women from racialized communities with foreign credentials, obtaining gainful employment can be elusive. Women who are seeking to enter the labour market for the first Dates and Time or seeking to re-enter after an extended leave, may need assistance in setting realistic and achievable plans. We offer Employment Support Groups for women in their own language and we help women to identify strengths and address challenges they face when seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce.
