WHAT YOUNG WORKERS SHOULD KNOW

We are here to help

Getting your first job may not be easy.  Statistically, landing a job is at least twice as hard as it is later on in life.  According to Statistics Canada (Labour Force Survey 2018), 15 to 24 year old's have the highest rate of unemployment than any other age group.  

The Resume Paradox

You want to get a job but how do you build your resume with no history of experience or training?  

You Can Stand out

With Safe To Work, you win big points by completing areas of training and volunteer work that are required under law and for your high school diploma.  With our 5-day program, you and your resume will stand out!!
