We know that for youth to succeed, they need access to career and job training that will help them secure a job and get a “foot in the door” to the career of their choice. While they learn work skills, our staff can provide counselling, job placement assistance, housing search support, mentorship opportunities, follow-up support and a range of other services to help youth achieve and maintain self-sufficiency.

The goal of the Eva’s Phoenix Employment and Training Program is to provide homeless and at-risk youth with skills-based, experiential training that can help them identify career goals, access hands-on training, connect with on-the-job training placement or entry-level employment, and ultimately earn sufficient income to make the transition into interdependent living.

  • Develop personal action plans on how to meet their employment goals

  • Learn job readiness skills including resume and cover letter writing and interview skills

  • With job searching and applications for employment and training programs

Support young people in gaining career-building skills.

Eva’s training and employment programs do more than just help youth get a job. They prepare them with career-build skills and connect them with potential employers to created opportunities for gainful, long-term employment.
