Employers

The Mustard Seed Employment Program serves individuals re-entering the job market. Many participants have a wealth of experience in job fields such as customer service, construction, food service, general labour, janitorial, retail, skilled trades, warehouse, and more.

While some may have lost their jobs more recently, others have been out of work for several months or even years due to circumstances beyond on their own control. Due to the gap in employment and its underlying reasons, the challenge of finding a dignified and sustainable job is magnified.

Our participants, however, are motivated to return to work and eager to learn. The Mustard Seed Employment Program prepares individuals for a smooth reintegration into the workforce through one-on-one sessions with a dedicated Employment Coach, training opportunities focused on soft skill development and job-specific certifications, and work experience programs to rebuild daily routines, confidence, and stamina. They are now ready to make a meaningful contribution to your workplace!

“The Mustard Seed Employment Program has given me the opportunity to work with and learn from different people. The coaches showed by word and deed that showing up every day and striving to do your best will give you the skills that employers value. It has taught me that soft skills like communication are very important and can be improved upon. Because of the program, my confidence in who I am and what I can achieve has grown by leaps and bounds. The Employment Coaches have been there with genuine support and encouragement from day one and I can’t thank them enough.”

Hire a Participant

Find the right candidate for your job vacancy by adding a new recruitment pipeline and building your brand as an employer of choice. We would love to learn about your organization and staffing needs. We will then only refer participants who match your requirements for consideration. There is no cost for this service, nor is there any obligation to hire our referrals as we are looking to facilitate a connection where your organization and the participant mesh well.

Even after a participant is hired, we will continue to support the individual for up to three months to help manage the transition and ensure the relationship is mutually beneficial for your organization and the new employee.
