Fundraising Support and Impact

Fundraising Support and Impact - Two employees from The Career Foundation crossing the finish line together at a 5K Charity Run.

Our Fundraising Initiatives and Causes

As a registered charitable organization, The Career Foundation has been positively impacting lives and communities since 1988 by facilitating employment and training opportunities for people looking for work.

Through our seven locations and 90 team members in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, we work with more than 4,000 clients annually to develop the skills and connections they need to successfully transition to employment. Our commitment to customer service excellence, coupled with our track record of always exceeding our funders’ goals, has established our organization as a trusted partner in the region.

At The Career Foundation, we like to go the extra mile for our clients. For instance, we raised nearly $30,000 in 2016 to help fund three student scholarships at York University. Additionally, our General Carpenter Pre-Apprenticeship for Youth Program was also able to invest in part-time tutors to prepare its students for industry-relevant exams.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 in 2017 to provide similar supports to youth across all of our programs! We’re currently on track to meet this goal by year’s end! 


Fundraising - You can make a difference!


What Your Donations Help Fund:

  • Subway tokens/tickets to allow youth to travel to and from interviews
  • New computers for clients
  • New/updated software to enhance clients’ job search experience
  • Honorariums for guest speeches to clients
  • Honorariums for guest instructors at workshops
  • Equipment for workshops (e.g. new projectors)
  • Rental space for off-site workshops
  • Honorariums for tutors to assist clients with updating their skills (e.g. math, science, English, etc.)

Alex was looking for a #career that fit his skills Alex was looking for a #career that fit his skillset. While browsing the internet for skilled trades opportunities, he came across an ad for our Arborist Ground Worker Training Program.

The program provided support, on-the-job training, and coaching, which helped Alex to excel quickly. His instructors called him a rockstar. Alex's skills were so impressive that he landed an offer from his dream employer, who eagerly arranged for him to begin work after he finished the program.

Alex's story shows the importance of offering programs that helps the unemployed & underemployed to start a career in an in-demand #trade. Our goal is to help everyone who comes through our doors discover their potential and achieve their #employment goals.

⚠️ By 2031, Ontario's #construction sector wil ⚠️ By 2031, Ontario's #construction sector will need 100,000 more workers — and it's at risk of not meeting that goal. To address this challenge, Grade 11 students in Ontario will soon be able to take part in full-time apprenticeship programs while enrolled in school! 

We can reduce labour shortages in the skilled trades by: 
 
🛠️ Changing the minimum education requirement from Grade 12 to Grade 10 
📉  Lowering the minimum age for apprenticeships from 18 to 15-16 
➕ Increasing the number of teachers experienced in skilled trades 
⚙️ Creating or revamping low-cost training programs to recruit and support youth ages 15-17
