Employment Services

This free program, operating out of the Brampton JHSPHD office at 134 Main Street North, provides employment assistance to all persons who are unemployed or underemployed. Hours of operation are: Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, with extended hours on Wednesday evenings (5:00 pm to 7:00 pm). The Employment Program provides a range of services and supports ranging from self-directed use of the Resource Centre, to individual, customized employment counselling and supports including subsidized and monitored employment placements. Second Career applications comprise a significant part of the service activity. A component of the program is to work with employers in facilitating the matching with job seekers and with successful job maintenance.
Summer Job Services, a separate component of Employment Services, connects youth returning to school (15 to 24 years of age) with finding summer jobs. It is a subsidized wage program whereby employers receive subsidies to provide summer work to students. Employers and students are matched through the program to maximize the learning and the available funding. Transportation and other financial supports may be provided through this program based on identified individual need. All participation is voluntary. Funding for employment services is provided by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development.
