General information:

The Pre-employment workshop is an interactive, four-week workshop and presentation, that focuses on coping with workplace mental health and stress; self-compassion and self-awareness; communication techniques; practicing good decision making and goal setting; getting ready for the job search process, including resume and cover letter creation; and the interview process. The workshop concludes with workplace rights and tips on how to maintain employment once it has been attained. Participants are given the chance to be interactive during the workshop by engaging in exercises that are provided week-by-week and are given the opportunity to ask questions during the learning process. The workshop is comprised of lectures, exercises and various short video clips.

The Pre-employment Workshop is geared toward helping participants who are either new to the employment world and are preparing for employment; are seeking employment after education; and/or, are returning to employment after time away from work.

Participants only. As there are limited seats, it is requested that the participants follow through with attending the duration of the four-week workshop. Because the workshop material is interconnected and each week builds from one another, participants cannot join half-way through.

The workshop runs from 12:00pm – 4:00pm on the scheduled days.
