ISSofBC – B-Hired Program
July 22
This youth Employability Skills program aimed at newcomers to Canada is happy to share the secrets about finding success in connecting with employers for those struggling with job search. The B-Hired program is pleased to announce that our next session will begin on July 22, 2024.
Many of our past participants are currently working and building their futures in Canada. The B-Hired program is a free online Employability Skills and Job search Support program delivered in 5 phases:
• Phase 1 – Employability Skills workshops providing 60 hours of crucial information leading to employment. Weekly meetings with the Case Manager will assist with resume development, interview skills practice and coaching.
• Phase 2 – short term Occupational Skills training leading to a certificate. The B-Hired program pays up to $600 for short term certificate training.
• Phase 3 – Job Search Support is provided by our Employer Relations Specialists who provide job leads and connect job seekers to employers.
• Phase 4 – Follow-Up is ongoing for the 12 weeks after a participant finds work or enters Substantive Education.
Throughout the program individuals can receive a Participant Allowance for their active participation. $300 is paid with the completion of Employability Skills classes and completion of a certificate. $300 is issued once someone is hired or enrolls in Substantive Education. A Completion Bonus of $300 is issued once the participant completes probation or three months of ongoing education/training.
This online program is cohort based and in addition to providing a wealth of job search information and a path to employment, it also offers a community for youth to develop their networking abilities, practice their communication skills to build confidence, reduces isolation by providing opportunities to develop friendships with others in similar circumstances, and coaching and support from the B-Hired Team.
Our next cohort starts in 5 weeks. Please let your clients know about this excellent opportunity for supported job search.
Information Sessions run every Tuesday and Friday at noon.
B-Hired classes begin July 22, 2024. Please refer now!
