Our programs continually adapt to address the diverse needs of the Greater Toronto Area with a particular focus on newcomers, vulnerable populations and youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023\/24, the Weston Road Employment Services location assisted over 1,000 individuals with workshops, skills training and job placements, emphasizing local business engagement and community partnerships. Keele and Vaughan locations delivered career fairs, mentorship and specialized support for youth and internationally trained individuals. Our Internationally Trained Individuals and Federal Internship for Newcomers programs bridged employment gaps, and our netWORKS and Youth Job Connection programs supported at-risk youth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December 2023, the Mississauga Employment location celebrated client achievements with the Newcomer Employment Services Festival (NES FEST) and recognized 11 employer-partners. The event led to 14 new partnerships and four internships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"stats-block-block_9094974e5123b635db4585401a09dd83\" class=\"stats-block \">\n\t\t<div
