Employment Assistance Service

offered at our office in Vernon

VDISS provides an Employment Assistance Service to immigrants. We work with clients one-on-one or in groups to develop a job action plan based on their goals. Landed immigrants and new Canadians can improve their employability by taking computer or job search workshops, or an information session on Self Employment. We also assist with resumes, cover letters, interview preparation, information on education and training opportunities, support with credential assessment/recognition, as well as an open computer lab and resource centre.

What is Employment Assistance Service?

Employment Assistance Service is a program providing job-readiness services to newcomers to Canada or landed immigrants who are unemployed or working less than 20 hours per week. The services are at no cost to our clients and are designed to assist our clients with their job search.

Cultural sensitivity, flexibility and adaptability are what makes our Employment Assistance Service a positive connection for job seekers who are new to Canada.
