Your Skills. Your Strengths. Your Future.
Finding meaningful employment can be challenging, but you don’t have to navigate the job search alone. At Employment North, we’re committed to helping job seekers with disabilities explore opportunities, build confidence, and connect with employers.
Many job opportunities are filled through referrals, networking, and employer connections before they are ever advertised publicly. This is often referred to as the hidden job market.
That’s where Employment North can help.
Access Opportunities Through Our Employer Network
Our Job Developers work closely with local employers to learn about:
- Current and upcoming hiring needs
- Industry trends and workplace expectations
- Skills and qualifications employers are seeking
- Job opportunities that may not be publicly advertised
By working with our Employment Counsellors and Job Developers, you’ll gain access to valuable labour market information, employer connections, and personalized job search support.
Build Your Job Search Success
There are many ways to increase your employment opportunities, including:
✅ Building and maintaining a professional network
✅ Connecting with community, family, school, and employment supports
✅ Creating a professional, up-to-date resume and cover letter
✅ Developing confidence and effective job search strategies
✅ Researching employers and local labour market trends
✅ Gaining experience through volunteering, job shadowing, placements, or training opportunities
✅ Enhancing workplace and transferable skills
Make Your Resume Stand Out
Employers often spend only a short amount of time reviewing a resume before deciding whether to learn more about a candidate.
A strong resume should clearly demonstrate:
- Your skills and strengths
- Relevant work, volunteer, and life experience
- Accomplishments and achievements
- How you can contribute to the employer’s organization
Our Employment Counsellors can help you create or update your resume, prepare for interviews, and develop a personalized plan to support your employment goals.
We’re Here to Support You
Whether you’re entering the workforce, returning to work, exploring new career options, or looking for accommodations and employment supports, Employment North is here to help.
