HOW WE HELP…
WORKER SUPPORT
Supporting our workers is the core of what we do at EMBERS. Through our Worker Support Program, we aim to remove many barriers to employment: we provide tools & equipment necessary for jobs, provide lunches, and offer transportation to sites. We also offer wraparound supports such as helping to access counselling, housing search support, access to affordable groceries, and anything else our workers may need.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
EMBERS Training provides hard and soft skills training to people who are getting back into the workforce or starting a new career. We have both youth specific and more general training programs for career support and skills development. Whether someone is pursuing a career in construction, exploring other industries, or trying to establish themselves in the Canadian job market, EMBERS Training helps them uncover their strengths, build new skills, and achieve their career goals.
MATCH SAVINGS
We match our worker’s savings up to $600. In 2023, the program had 23 participants who used the savings for various goals including education, first month’s rent, computers and tools/working gear. This isn’t just about supporting savings — it’s investing in people’s ability to break barriers.
