EMBERS

EMBERS is a registered Canadian charity whose mission is to create economic and employment opportunities for people by providing them jobs, training, and support. We seek to empower individuals into economic self-sufficiency so that they can build their best future. Since 2001, we have provided a comprehensive array of job placements and support services that address the full employment continuum, from pre-employment to sustainable employment. EMBERS has won multiple provincial and national awards for our community impact and initiatives aimed at getting people back to work and building a better future. We offer employment opportunities and services through several key programs: EMBERS Staffing Solutions is a multi-award winning social enterprise that connects companies with high quality workers in construction, warehousing, security and events. Our business model provides individuals with temporary and transitional jobs, acting as a bridge to full-time employment. EMBERS Training provides soft skills workshops, hard skills certified training and one-on-one support, primarily in the construction industry. EMBERS Eastside Works is an income generation hub that helps people improve their livelihoods by accessing odd jobs and short-term work opportunities in the community, along with targeted training and one-on-one support.
