Employment
We believe that everyone can make a meaningful contribution in their community.
We believe everyone has the ability to work and can benefit from it. Our employment and education programs help people discover their talents and create opportunities for work meaningful to them.
We accept self-referrals or referrals from others, including health care providers, counselling agencies, employment assistance services, community partners, government services, or family and friends of individuals needing employment support.
This is an opportunity I wouldn’t have found on my own. Stella’s Circle helped open doors to work I couldn’t.
Employment Services
Individual & Group Employment Services help people identify their own needs and goals to move toward work, school, and greater self-reliance. We assist participants in increasing their job readiness, discovering their skills, and preparing to enter the workforce.
Workplace-Based Training offers job skills and hand-on learning within our social enterprises in the food services, commercial cleaning, and construction trades. We also provide short-term, transitional work through CanDo! for adults facing significant barriers to employment.

Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Adult Basic Education (ABE) Level 1 program teaches foundational reading, writing and math using the provincial government’s curriculum, enriched with other dynamic and community-based activities.
Level 1 is equivalent to grades 1-7 in the K-12 school system. Our ABE course is offered in small groups of up to 12 students and is tailored to meet the specific needs of each participant. We support students throughout their learning, giving them the time they need to complete each part of the program.
English as an Additional Language is designed for English language learners who are seeking to strengthen their foundational literacy and numeracy skills to improve their integration in community. Rooted in the values of equity and inclusion, our program creates a welcoming and respectful space for learners of all background and experiences with flexible, accessible options to participate.
Enrollment is ongoing – please contact us anytime to get started. These are offered at no cost to all learners.

For Employers
By partnering with Stella’s Circle to help fill available positions, employers enjoy benefits such as access to motivated, job-ready candidates, reduced turnover, stronger retention, and a dedicated workforce backed by a trusted nonprofit partner.
We want to understand your organization’s unique needs and challenges so we can connect you with candidates whose skills and experience align with your requirements. There is no obligation to hire from our candidate pool. Together, we can help build more inclusive workplaces while creating meaningful social impact in our community.
Although we cannot guarantee to present the ideal candidate for every available position, we work closely with your team to understand your needs, provide onboarding support, and offer continued assistance to both employer and employee when a match is made.
This is a great milestone for me. I applied for Skills Discovery a few years back but was unable to complete due to my mental illness. But I was resilient and determined to stay motivated and get better to come back and tackle this again. Today will mark not only graduation but an open door back to work, something I’ve been wanting to accomplish for years.
