The length of time required until you secure full-time employment depends on the amount of time you are willing to invest in your job search.  It can take anywhere from a few days, weeks or months.  Although looking for work is a full-time job in itself, CTC offers a joint effort approach to your job search in order to minimize the time required to find employment.

YES.  Feedback from employers indicate that they appreciate candidates that
come to them well prepared for interviews and have a strong understanding of the world of work.  Our workshops are designed to train you on successfully launching your career.  Our workshops cover topics such as employer expectations, workplace and cultural adaptation, conflict resolution and job retention to name a few.

Although our workshops are organized to provide you with a structured approach to job search, we understand that unexpected events can sometimes arise.  If you are unable to attend a scheduled workshop, one of our CTC staff members will arrange a make-up session date with you.  This will ensure that you receive all the tools and information needed to conduct a successful job search.

Our experienced Job Developers will work closely with you in order to assist you with finding employment opportunities suited to your working experience, skills and interests.

There are many benefits of the program that are specifically designed to assist you with finding employment.  The group and one to one sessions are also of significant benefit in developing employability skills and increasing your marketability to employers.
