Overview
Centre for Skills operates as an independent charity. Our various locations in Halton and Peel deliver free government-funded programs to help people at various stages of life (youth, job seekers, second career seekers and newcomers to Canada) get on a path to career success.
Services include one-on-one job search coaching, workshops, language training and settlement services, academic upgrading and pre-apprenticeship skilled trades training. We also collaborate closely with employers, providing free professional recruitment with access to pre-screened candidates, financial wage and training incentives and customized skilled trades training.
We serve over 20,000 people annually in the Halton Region and Mississauga.
Our services have been recognized as important assets to communities. In recent years, we have been honoured to receive several Readers Choice Awards from the Burlington Post, including a diamond award for Career Training and Development in 2021, our most recent platinum awards for Best Learning Centre in 2018, Best Adult Education Centre in 2020, Business and Career Training in 2021, and gold award for Adult Education in 2021.
