Our Program

“Workforce ready”
To access Let’s Work services, a person would be deemed “workforce” ready. To be workforce ready there is an assumption that one can gain and maintain employment with or without support. Those accessing our services must be able to dedicate a reasonable amount of time to job searching and be willing to engage in various activities (some independently) as outlined in the individualized employment action plan created with a Let's Work Employment Counsellor.
*Note: Let’s Work is not considered to be a job placement agency. We are an Employment Counselling service, and will work collaboratively to ensure that people are prepared and supported to effectively search for employment on their own towards their future.
Intake
As of April 1st, 2025 there is a formal waitlist for Let's Work services.
Once there is available room on caseloads, an intake meeting will be scheduled. During the intake assessment, the client will meet with our Let’s Work Program Manager to review necessary paperwork, and also discuss their employment goals. They are then assigned to a well-suited Let's Work Employment Counsellor for next meetings going forward; and will discuss their skills, strengths and areas to focus on within the EAP (Employment Action Plan) created based on individual needs.
Services
Once we have assisted in determining an employment goal and an Employment Action Plan has been mutually agreed upon, we offer a number of services based on the person's individual needs.
Pre-Employment Services
Let's Work recognizes that pre-employment services can be a key part of building towards working well, and can support identifying where to begin in your job search. Let’s Work offers a broad range of pre-employment services with a consistent mental health lens to our service provision.
Supportive Job Search & Job Development
Finding the right job can at times be overwhelming in our current job market, Let's Work is happy to provide supportive job search assistance and provide that experienced objective point-of-view.
Employment Maintenance
One of the unique aspects of the Let's Work program is that our Employment Counselling services continue once a person has been become successfully employed. Once a person has found employment, we remain connected with them during the initial period of employment & longer, depending on the needs of the person. We offer employment maintenance counselling services as a way of guiding through the new challenges of beginning and successfully maintaining their job.
