Horizon Employment Readiness Program

Build confidence. Develop skills.
Move toward employment.

Horizon supports adults who experience barriers to employment. Through practical learning, workplace experience and individualized support, participants build workplace skills, practice routines and explore their employment goals.

With three 10-week streams, Horizon offers a starting point that fits each participant’s needs and current readiness.

Horizon is for people who are:

  • Aged 18 or older

  • Legally eligible to work in Canada
