PROSPECT HELPS PEOPLE
WHO FACE BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT.
FULFILLING JOBS IN ALBERTA
Prospect Human Services.
A job is a key part of a person's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, too many people face barriers to employment.
- Prospect works with everyone from recent immigrants to ill-and-injured military veterans to people with disabilities.
- We're a not-for-profit organization, but our main motivation isn't charity.
- We believe everyone who is ready, willing and able to work and wants a fulfilling job should have one.
- We're driven to help people who face barriers to employment because society reaps the benefits for years to come.
How Prospect does it.
- Prospect has decades of experience in broadening the workforce, helping job seekers and employers alike.
- We work with industry to understand the jobs and skill sets they are going to need, and with individuals to prepare them for these areas of demand.
- We always look at workforce development from demand and supply perspectives.
- What we've found is that employers are often missing out on skilled employees from non-traditional pools.
