I registered with Employ Abilities in a program called Learn to Earn. It has been very helpful and I find the instructors are so friendly and very kind to all the student. They have provided me with many safety certificates, as well as teaching me how to find a job and keep it a job. It is great program and I recommend it to anyone who is having a difficulty finding a job. Thanks so much to Employ Abilities!
Great place that helps people with barriers to employment find a job.
Knowledgeable staff, reliable Internet. Good job search place.
EmployAbilities is an excellent organization that helps people with disabilities trained and ready for the realities of the current job market and provide great support and direction during the emotion job search process. The have wonderful staff that helped me find a meaningful career that matched my skills at a company ranked as one of the top 10 companies to work for.
They enrolled me in a workshop for resume and cover letter building, and weekly workshops on interview techniques and soft skills to help me give a good impression to get my foot in the door. They also helped in telling me which industries were currently hiring. I was with them for 4 months and was assigned a job coach that checked in weekly on my progress and emotional wellbeing and job specialists who sent me job postings that I could apply for.
Got a job through one of their job links and they were able to contact the hiring manager on my behalf. I couldn t be happier with their empathetic and professional approach with people with disabilities and would recommend them to anyone!
I really am happy with this program. I learned a lot about resumes and and how to apply for jobs. I learned a lot on computers also The instructors are so patient and care about your progress.
This is a fabulous organization with excellent facilities and programs, so I'm kind of surprised by any negative reviews. I'm guessing that their hands are probably tied sometimes when it comes to requirements to help people because some of the funding they receive likely has certain criteria that has to be met in terms of serving people. It's like that for any government program, so why would a non-profit that receives government funding be any different? Not saying it's right, but it is what it is and personally I think dissatisfaction ought to be reported to MLAs and government officials, not the agency trying to accommodate people with varying needs. From what I've seen firsthand, the staff at Employabilities cares very much about the clients they serve, and do a wonderful job of helping people. Keep up the good work!
Very out dated, broad spectrum information, have yet to see how they help when people have disabilities, remember job search is up to you, it is a full time job.
My experience with Employabilities is that I am taking an eight week program call Learn to Earn. It is a good program in where I am learning about job skills, while getting paid. The staffs who work here are very nice and I am also receiving certificates for WHIMS, food safety, first Aid, and learning basic computer skills.
I ve been going to program at Employ Abilities and took the Learn 2 Earn program to help me get onto my feet and find a job. I found Employ Abilities during my search for a job. I was pleased from what I was reading over the internet about this place that made me come here and see if I could enrol in the learn 2 Earn program. I was accepted in the program, The program is very clear and easy to understand and the program provided me with service best, food-safety level two ,first-aid, and WHIMS(ect). I was able to update my resume and interview skills. I m pleased how the instructors here run the program and gave a helping hand for those that don t understand.
My experience in this program is very beneficial I would tell my friends or family that is having a hard time looking for work to come to this program, as they won t be disappointed.
In this program I learned so many new skills .The staff helped me a lot with my English speaking. I dropped over 40 resumes in different stores and I met with different employees, supervisors and managers .I have been at Employabilities taking the Learn To Earn program for 4 week now. It s an 8 week program that provides people with many different safety certificates, and is also a paid program. The staff here are people who genuinely care about your success in life and work very hard to get people back in the work place. I have to thank employabilities for everything they have done for me so far.
They have well structured programs and friendly staff. My experience with them was insightful and exploratory. I would definitely recommend them.
Computer Class is interesting and teacher's subjects are interesting on Professional Development and Computers but School Environment for me needs to be more friendly to keep everyone interesting. Hope to find a Career of my dreams and an Entry Level Position in an office Environment.
They are very helpful with everything you need to find a job that suits you and to keep that job
Perhaps the correct address should be in order!
Google street view is different then website address
So I don t understand how employabilities is allowed to turn people away, my mom is someone with a disability, and she was refused help from employabilities, for my mom that s a catastrophic loss, yeah I know she s 56 and she shakes a lot, but when someone is willing to work you should help them, not refuse them, it almost feels like discrimination against someone with a disability.
Amazing service for people with disabilities. I get treated with respect, and they really help me to find a job.Anyone who is struggling to get a job, go to them.And i would like to thank u for Employ Abilities!!!
I have been at Employabilities taking a program called Learn 2 Earn for 4 weeks. It s an 8 week program that provides people with help on how to get a job. We also received many different safety certificates like (first aid, food safety level II, whmis and it s also a paid program. For me it s an experience and an amazing deal. I know this program can help me more and teach me how to get a job and how to adapt to my new country.
If i can give them -10000000. They dont deserve one start only job they do just stealing money from government and pretend they helping people to be ready for job world
They threaten student every each second " we gonna cut half day because you come 5 second late" they talk about religion and force some student to go to casino and deal with it. At the beginning they said we gonna be a reference but when you ask them they refuse
Stupid people I don't know how can I tell alberta worker about them
very unprofessional they were late for a meeting they set up waste of funding
The Strive for work program is a joke
They favor participants and don't do their job 100 %
Government shouldn't continue the funding.
Instructors are constantly being inappropriate with participants
Suing would be a great start
Awesome service for people with disabilities. I get treated with respect, and they really help me find employment. Anyone who is struggling, go to them.
They waste your time postponing and cancelling appoinments. Only taking you in like once a month. You have a better chance finding a job by yourself.
Learn to earn is program Employ Abilities trains students to enter the work force with advanced skills such as computer knowledge; safety training food safety, First Aid, Inventory control,WHMS,Forklift(fall protation) etc. The instructors and fellow students are extremely nice and found my entire experience at learn to earn, most rewarding. After two months of learning, I am ready to enter the work force.
Very poor, no help, no parking, no respect for your disability. They must all work for the government of canada.
I registered with LERN TO ERAN program in 2017 and it was very useful for me it helped me when I was un employed and in my 4th week in this program I got a job they did good work with me it was very professional working with them got some certificates as FIRS AID and WHMIS and a lot more.

My experience in the "Restart your Career" program was great. I updated my computer skills and professional development skills. The facilitators were very friendly, helpful and patient. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to take this program.
Great people always they love to help people
Thank you so much chandra and paul.EmployAbility is good place for new people to Canada and unemployed.
EmployAbilities is one of the best places to get help in all kinds a thing like resumes, looking for a good jobs and to meet new people. The staff at EmployAbilities are very nice and very friendly.
These people are JERKS , U tell them about your health and they say ' we can help you here with that '. You fill out an application and then talk to another staff member there about your situation, BUT you end up not hearing from them EVER AGAIN ! I have had 22 seizures and 22 mini seizures in the last eleven years and these FOOLS don't take a person who wants to work very seriously. Since 1999 I gone through this agency 3 times and once I was directed to a medicentre clinic to get a physical ( which costed me $ 75 ) only to return to Employabilities and be turned away for service - WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME ! ! !
How does this agency prevent itself not having it's BUSINESS LICENSE REVOKED - HOW ! ! !
I have been advised by my family doctor and other people to TRY this place out with regards to my health and situation. However, THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE CROCK ! ! ! !
Very poor attitude from the supervisor who takes her frustration on you for you making personal calls which they don't need to know what your calling about. She does not personally know me and my skills for work. Not very helpful supervisor that doesnt treat people fairly and her tone is unacceptable.
I am attending Restart your career program, very helpful program, the team of facilitators are awesome, they encourage me to never give up...Thanks all of you!
Just the worst place! Staff not nice. Have no care and respect.They don't give you the right answer your looking for. I would not recommend employabilites. Not Professional at all. Not worth your time.
I have been coming here for 5 months now. I will be graduating in September. I have nothing but respect for the staff. When I first started here I knew nothing about computers now I know how to power point, use word, excel, and how to do data. The instructors I have with life skills have helped me with my self-esteem and now I have also have more confidence in myself. The instructors I have for computers have also been a great help.
In my experience attending EmployAbilities the staff have been fantastic in supporting me in attaining my goals. Their assistance has been extremely helpful and I have not only grown during my time with them but have also been successful in gaining employment. The entire staff of EmployAbilities have never given up on me and have continued to support me through all of my challenges. EmployAbilities, to me, is like family and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Fantastic company!
They asked me really dumb questions and talked to me slow like I was retarded. Couldn't find me a job. Don't go here if you want to keep your dignity.
