OUR DIFFERENCE

The Building Futures Program is built upon understanding and identifying the unique skills, education, and experience of our participants.  Small group sizes and one on one mentoring means you are not simply another number with a cookie-cutter approach to employment services.  We help each participant tailor make their resume, cover letter, and job search strategy to provide immediate and lasting impact on employability.

Our team also actively looks for partnerships with Winnipeg businesses looking to find talent in a tight talent market.  Unlike traditional “agencies” we do not charge employers for those candidates we provide to them.  Our focus is on providing our participants access to meaningful opportunities that they are ready and qualified to fill.

“I really appreciate for the Employment assistance program via ECRC.   Through this program, my interview skills have improved and had a refreshment on how to prepare for my future interviews.  I also appreciate for the free certifications such as First Aid/CPR, and also free Criminal records and Adult and child abuse registry records which are very useful for my future jobs.  With the certifications and interview skills, I am ready and confident to face any future interviews.”
