We believe that employment and skill development can be vital to one's sense of personal success. 
We are committed to bringing excellent employment programming to help you build that success!

Currently, we offer two funded employment programs that each have a separate set of eligibility criteria and functionality in what they provide you by way of supporting your employment goals.

Our Employment Facilitators will work with you directly and immediately to ensure we find the best fit program and service for you. It is important that as a new program participant, you are able to work with us honestly as we assess you for the best possible program stream. At times, you may be eligible for more than one of our programs simultaneously; we will advise you of this and ensure you are enrolled in all programs you that you are eligible.

If for any reason you are not eligible for our employment programs, we will make every effort to refer you to alternate services in Thunder Bay, as they are available and we are aware.   

ILRC Employment Program Team:

We've learned plenty over the past 25 years of providing employment programming in the Thunder Bay region, and nothing is more important than having a responsive and compassionate team to deliver these services: our current team embodies those traits better than ever! No matter who you connect with directly, our team works collaboratively to ensure that you are provided the best possible service and outcome. We encourage you to access our services when you are most ready to become employed, as our goal is to work efficiently and effectively with you to enable you to reach your employment goals as quickly as possible.
