The Access Granted workshop is designed to provide a structured and supportive environment for jobs seekers in the GTA, catering to youth, new comers and those in low income households, aiming to equip them with essential skills for successful integration into the workforce. The three-day workshop will address critical obstacles faced by youth experiencing challenges in employment and professional development.
This program is tailored for 50 youth aged 16-29 years, offered at no cost. The workshop will take place from 10 am to 3 pm each day in Mississauga.
- Day 1: Certification and Training
Participants will receive certifications in workplace safety and WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System). These credentials will enhance their employability and ensure they meet basic safety standards required by employers. - Day 2: Resume Building and Interview Preparation
Focus will be on resume writing, interview techniques, and job search strategies. Each participant will benefit from a personalized one-hour session dedicated to refining their resume and preparing for job interviews. - Day 3: Networking and Community Engagement
Participants will have the opportunity to engage with local businesses, potential employers, and community resources. This day is designed to facilitate direct connections with the job market and offer ongoing support from community organizations.
The desired outcome for the workshop is to ensure employment readiness. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with a certification, refined resumes, and improved interview skills, ready to enter the job market with confidence. We aim for each participant to leave with at least one potential employment opportunity and establish connections with local businesses and mentors.
