PGSS

Employment Program

When everyone has access to meaningful job opportunities, Canada benefits in many ways. The reality is that jobs aren’t always easy to find. Even armed with post-secondary education, you might still find yourself out of work or underemployed. The Prairie Gateway Settlement  employment services respond to the needs of unemployed and underemployed newcomers by providing programs that address barriers to entering the labour market.

By building networks in the local community with employers and other service providers, we provide the comprehensive services you need to find a job. By working together to connect people with opportunities, we are giving more newcomers the chance to succeed.
