Working Beyond Program - Mission, Chilliwack, Hope

In April 2008, Mission Community Skills Centre Society started delivering a new employment assistance program titled “Working Beyond.” The program works with unemployed mature workers aged 50-64, who live in the Central Fraser Valley, to assist them to connect to employment and self employment opportunities.

Participants will have their choice between two comprehensive options designed specifically for older workers: “Transition & Leadership" option or a “Self Employment & Business Development” option.

The “Working Beyond” employment program may provide some limited financial support to offset participation costs and/or training expenses for participants while they transition back to work or start their own business.

Contact 1-866-986-WORK (9675) or 604-287-0625 to register for one of the information sessions in either our Mission or Chilliwack Centres.

In Hope, contact 604-860-0224 for information. For further information and contacts, click here.

Employers who are interested in tapping into this underutilized human capital should contact us immediately for partnership opportunities.

Through these activities, the Society focuses on enhancing the employability of people.

The Society is also supported by a Board of Directors that ensures all the activities of the centres are focused on meeting our Vision, Values and Mission. The directors are elected at the Annual General Meeting of each year.
