What I love about the Youth Job Connection program at The Career Foundation is the staff’s unrelenting dedication and persistence in helping clients to achieve their goals, as well as their unmatched ability to treat and see clients in their greatest potential. The Career Foundation staff truly care about every single one of us and they strive every day to be there for us and guide us to the best of their ability. They have helped me when I couldn’t help myself and that’s the reason why I thank and respect them so much. #THANKYOU

My Employment Specialist supported me to stay positive and motivated me to continue my efforts. These efforts have since paid off! Two weeks ago, I received two fantastic job offers in the same week! I have started working in my dream job and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the guidance that I received from The Career Foundation. On this difficult journey, it was so nice to know that I had someone close by rooting for me who really cared about me reaching the finish line!

The Career Foundation’s General Carpenter Pre-Apprenticeship program has allowed me to pursue a career in the field I have always wanted to be a part of but did not have the necessary skills or resources to pursue. This program has allowed me to obtain general carpentry skills that have made me more employable, allowed me to make numerous connections in the carpentry field and meet great friends. This program has pushed me to take on difficult challenges that have made me a better person and carpenter. I am really looking forward to beginning my field placement and putting all my new skills to work. I would no doubt recommend this program to those who are eligible.

Shauna’s recommendation made all the difference. I am so grateful for all the help that Shauna has given me and how patient she has been with me. She is professional, diligent and extremely competent. She was thorough and consistently went the extra mile to help me find the right position.  She was great because she really took the time to get to know me and put me forward for a job that suited my skills and personality. Also, she promptly updated me with the progress. I personally thanked her because, whatever the result, I really felt well supported throughout the process.

Growth conversations are different right now—and Growth conversations are different right now—and so are the strategies behind them.

On June 16, we’re joining @trbot
at The Quay for three member-led sessions focused on what’s actually driving growth today.
 
The event features sessions from The Career Foundation, @titan_one_inc, and @trends.ceo 
 
At The Career Foundation, we’ll be leading:

Fueling Growth Through Talent
 
Funding opportunities exist to support hiring, training, and retention—but many organizations aren’t accessing them in a strategic or meaningful way.
 
In this session, we’ll explore how to:
• Understand the workforce funding landscape
• Access and apply available supports
• Leverage talent as a driver of growth strategy

🗓 June 16 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 The Quay, 100 Queens Quay East

Hosted by the Toronto Region Board of Trade
 
If talent is part of your growth strategy, this conversation belongs in the room.

Recently, The Career Foundation attended the Keele Recently, The Career Foundation attended the Keele Community Hub Open House, joining a strong network of local partners to connect with residents and share available community supports.

The event saw a great turnout throughout the afternoon, with hub tours, community information tables, cultural performances, and music that brought real energy to the space.

What stood out most were the conversations with community members, who shared their experiences navigating job searches, training needs, and the barriers that can come with accessing employment opportunities. These discussions continue to provide valuable insight into how workforce development services can better reflect real community needs.

Spaces like the Keele Community Hub Open House play an important role in strengthening collaboration across organizations and improving how services are delivered to residents.

Thank you to Councillor councillornunziata for the warm welcome and continued leadership in supporting accessible community spaces and services in the area. We look forward to staying connected and exploring opportunities to further expand access to employment supports for residents.

Grateful to have connected with fellow community partners, including @fyiinto, @midayntayouth, York Hispanic Centre, and @womanact, alongside the @cityofto and other local stakeholders committed to supporting residents.

Land Acknowledgements are often spoken—but their Land Acknowledgements are often spoken—but their true meaning is shaped by what we do next.
 
They are an opportunity to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples as the original caretakers and stewards of the land, while reflecting on our shared responsibility to learn, build respectful relationships, and take meaningful action.
 
At The Career Foundation, we are committed to putting these values into practice through our work with Indigenous communities, job seekers, employers, and partners.
 
This National Indigenous History Month, we encourage you to deepen your understanding of Land Acknowledgements and consider how recognition can lead to meaningful change.
 
🎥 Watch the video to learn more.
