Employment counselors are available on a drop-in basis to assist clients along their path to finding employment. Whether you just have a few questions, or want in-depth help, an employment counselor can help.
Counselors help clients focus in on their immediate, long term, and employment goals. The counseling process helps clients identify barriers to employment, and helps them create action steps to achieve their goals.
Action plans based on the client’s goals and barriers include steps like writing a resume, gaining post-secondary education, finding employer contacts, finding daycare, or obtaining a driver’s license. Some of these steps GDI can help with directly.
