Brantford/Brant Employment Services

Brant Employment Centre

Funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, this Centre offers full range Employment Ontario services. We can help in a number of ways.

We provide:

• an assessment of your skills and experience,
• information about different careers and occupations,
• workshops and information sessions on a variety of topics (see our calendar for current schedule)
• local labour market, employment and training opportunities, information about all Employment Ontario programs and services, including Second Career and Self Employment Benefit, as well as
• advice about and referral information to other community services and support.

You can learn about developing effective job search strategies including resume preparation.

Depending on your particular employment needs and career goals, an Employment Consultant will determine whether you need more individualized assistance and support to help you develop your career, set goals, assess your skills and interests, and prepare you for interviews and employment.

You may be eligible for on-the-job training and/or work experience support, and in some cases, additional support to help you find and keep work.
