employment programs

The YWCA has several free employment programs that assist more than 30,000 people in their job search every year. We opened our first employment program in 1875, and we have been dedicated to improving the working life of women in Toronto ever since.

Today, the YWCA helps women, men and disabled youth assess skills, plan job searches, brush up on English for the workplace, or re-enter paid work after raising children. Our programs help you link with employers for job placements, gain access to the latest job market information and internet job research, and prepare for the working world after a period of unemployment or relocation, or after receiving social assistance. Our programs are offered throughout the city at convenient times and locations.
