The Working Center specializes in helping people find employment. They assist in so many and varried ways, it would be huge list if I were to write them all down here. I will say this Kitchener is blessed to have this organization in it's community.
Really a gem if you need help. These people are dedicated to helping those with less money, housing, resources, etc. Available computers to do job searching. Many available programs to choose from. Support groups, employment programs. They operate a program with Grand River transit that gives those with less the ability to get a reduced fair bus pass. There is a wait list though. If you need help, just ask. They are patient are carrying people. It's always moderately busy.
Did my taxes in no time at all! Was very impressed by the dedication of the staff, keep up the good work! Thanks so much for giving me your time.
Computer recycling program had helpful people and a $10 monitor to replace my broken one. Great program.
There here to help people with resumes and finding work
Working Center is the greatest place where you can get help God bless working Center
A force for the good in Downtown Kitchener. The range of programming is far reaching, courageous, and visionary.
Great organization doing great things for the community!
Very helpful. They go above an beyond to help you with jobs, housing, taxes.... anything you need.
Excellent people who do great work in the community
The Working Centre is a great hub full of helpful staff.
Very impressed with all services they offer. Computer recycle is hands down my most favorite place to shop when in need of anything for my families computers
Got my taxes done there, Sue saved my life doing my taxes, thank you
The Working Centre is an inclusive, community-building nonprofit organization in Kitchener. It's an excellent place to work and volunteer with its focus squarely on improving the lives of its neighbours every day in hundreds of ways.
A good center offering social services to newcomers in Canada
Excellent service in this place and there are translators of all languages ...

Good quality vegetarian food at a great price. Best deal in town and a hip atmosphere. Menu is kinda confusing - just point to what you want or ask what s on offer.
Amazing vegetarian cafe. They roast coffee here that is quite good. Awesome cause
The working centre provides a great support for individuals looking for job. From resume support, public access computers, career counselling, job postings and many more. Really admiring what they are doing all this years. They also offer many other supports around downtown Kitchener. They also offer a really welcoming atmosphere for people who want to volunteer their time here.
This organisation provides a really important service to our community and I believe they are one of the best parts of Kitchener. My interactions with the Working Center are through the Waterloo Region Drupal Users Group which is hosted there once a month and I can say that the staff are always helpful and patient with us and anyone else that comes through their doors. I know several people that have been helped through periods of unemployment by the Working Center.
This place has an effective and positive impact on the community! :)
Great ppl and service. The whole place is really good and helpful so yea good place to find some resources... awesome for newcomers, immigrants or just local ppl looking for work and apartment hunting yano... check it out...
Excellent place for resources. The staff will help you with resumes, job hunting, they will do your incometax for free. They offer beginner computer courses and so much more. Very friendly place.
The Working Center is an integral part of Kitchener. It has countless projects that help people in the region. Every project is well managed, accessible and helpful. You can be sure you will find help and resources if you're need of it
People are really helpful. Good place for new comers to Canada to get basic helps.
The location on Queens does need to be redesigned for better service
GREAT services for those with low incomes (ODSP, OW). They will help and prepare your Income Tax return forms for free. Make sure you call ahead to book an appointment.
It's awesome place to get help at all your needs. Like resume and sending fax.
They are very quick and orginized and .do people Taxes..for free.been doing my taxes there for over 3 years....I strongly recomende
Such an inspiring place. This is something more communities need!
One of my all time favourite places in Kitchener Waterloo. Amazing services and work in the community.
This is home to the BEST resource locations for public information or needs. Practically ANYTHING you need, you can ask this place! Definitely worth checking out - even if just browsing online. It offers a LOT more than people may think. If they don't offer it themselves or have a partner that does, they can direct you to whom may be able to help.
The main building is called "The Working Centre", and is known as an employment resource with a job board, computers and fax that the public can use, they offer taxes services and other learning opportunities, and have great friendly staff too.
The first time I looked at their site, it was overwhelming with information of all the services they offer. They are no longer just one building either, as they are spread across downtown with a few buildings. One being the Queen Street Commons Cafe across the street (great for vegan/ vegetarian food), and another being the building that hosts Recycle Cycles (where anyone can come and learn how to build/ fix a bicycle), and The Green Door (very cheap thrift store for clothes, accessories, footwear, and even some home made products! They also have various classes they offer, and I also run a community craft club here every Friday). I took a couple of free courses within the region, and one was in collaboration with this place for learning the course materials.
It's a good place to meet up with people. To find work with the computer and physical postings.
They don't answer phones impossible to leave a voicemail. For a agency that is supposed to help the community communication is terrible
If I could get a hold of someone. I'd give a better score.
Amazing staff I go here a lot to print out stuff because no one has a printer anymore. I'm not the greatest at speaking to people and they helped me get a apartment, called around and everything for me.
This centre will help you faster and easier than the government offices.
A nonprofit organisation for locals supporting job search and training
They are very friendly and help a lot of people in need every day and every way possible I think they're doing a great job
I was told to show up for 9am for resume help but he never mentioned that one of the days nobody is there until 10. I was the first person there at 830 and had to wait until 1015 almost 1020.
Also the person that did my resume made me feel that she was rushing. People who are helping with resumes should have knowledge about important information with each main working sector.
Plus this lady made multiple mistakes on my resume; formatting and spelling. She didnt save it to my drive like she said she was going to so i had to rewrite it all out.
I wont be using this service again and be sure to check your resume before using it.
Love the people they have helped me with my resume and they did a great job! Thank you all!
The staff is very helpful kind and go out of their way to help you find whatever it is you need and people on ODSP or any social service agency can get their income tax done free there, free use of computers and job offers and people can get their own phone #s there to pick up msgs and make calls during the day Very helpful place great people who care
