JFS Employment services provides comprehensive coaching assistance to the unemployed, underemployed, international and local students and those who do not have a clear identification of career goals, in order that they become job-ready and proactive in their pursuit of meaningful employment.

This service helps identify career goals, skills, and prepare the individual for interviews. Upon the first free consultation a work plan will be developed to help the individual find meaningful and permanent work that suits their skill set.

To set up an initial consultation, please contact Sheldon Taylor,
Employment Counsellor, at 613.722.2225, ext.500, staylor@jfsottawa.com .
