SUCCESS STORIES
"I came to Achēv [The Centre for Education & Training] at Don Mills and sat with Hazel, who explained the job search process to me, coached me on improving my communication and interview skills; helped me in writing a good resume and connected me with The City of Toronto for the Camp Counseling position. This which was my very first job and I am really thankful for all the help I got which allowed me to obtain my first position. I am still working for The City of Toronto in different positions such as drop-in, after school recreation centre and as a Basketball Instructor / Monitor. I believe that because of this opportunity given to me at such a young age, doors will be opened for me to get a job with The City when I am finished school. Based on my experience, I encourage youth and adults to join Achēv [The Centre for Education & Training] to pursue a great future in their career of choice."
