    Our Clients' Success Stories

    Before YES I had interviews but afterwards I would never get any calls back.  Most places won’t hire you unless you have a certificate or diploma. They won’t give you a chance or give you training. It’s hard. I came to YES because I heard from a friend they help and teach you how to get a job.  They helped me get into a really good program that will not just get me a job but a career.  Even though the staff at YES did not know me, they were so helpful and kind. I had a much easier time to do my job search and look for jobs with access to the internet and phones that YES provides.  Now I’m working at a job I love!  Thank you!

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    When I first entered the Job Camp program at YES I was on the verge of losing my apartment and in between schools. With the help of Job Camp I was able to revamp my resume and interview skills thus boosting my confidence to put myself out there on the job market. Within the second week of Job Camp I had 2 interviews and was hired on the spot. Working there enabled me to keep my apartment and I’ve already saved enough to pay for my first semester of college. Without programs like these I wouldn’t be where I am today.

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    I came to YES when I was unemployed with absolutely no prospects or experience within the city at all. I had no money for expenses and no money for rent and was in a horrible position after leaving school. I gave it a shot and it was the best decision I have made since moving to Toronto. The Job Camp program kept me on my feet and motivated to find work, and I did. In just under a week and a half I had an interview with one of my favourite employers and was hired days later. I am now working 5 days a week and loving what I do. The people at YES are amazing at what they do and they will find you a job if you are motivated and work with them.

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    Passion for Fashion offers an opportunity first to educate yourself, secondly to meet peers and mentors with the same goals and interests to your own, a supportive environment, and finally a chance to further develop your business! I thoroughly enjoyed the Passion for Fashion, thanks to all the mentors and volunteers for continuing to make it happen! I have since begun to develop my online business, considered how to market and design my up coming season, and solidify my business strategy. The Passion for Fashion has raised industry awareness of my brand and provided ample amounts of support and resources to bring my product to the market with confidence and professionalism.
