Vision
Individuals in the Employment Program will have opportunities to achieve their goals and work towards paid employment.
Values
All persons have equal rights and responsibilities. The Employment Program’s role is to support and challenge job seekers to exercise these rights and responsibilities. We are committed to lifelong learning as a means to personal growth and enhanced quality of life.
Mission
The Employment Program of Building FUTURES Employment Society will provide training and support to persons with intellectual challenges living in the Lower Sackville, Fall River, Bedford, and surrounding areas. Through Job Development, Job Search, Job Readiness, Life Skills, Job Coaching, and Follow-up, job seekers will be independently employed.
FUTURES Employment Counsellors provide participants the tools to become job-ready and obtain employment through the provision of pre-employment services, including assistance with skills development, bus training, understanding workplace expectations, resumes, interview skills, etc.
Participants are further supported in the workplace through job coaching, skills training and long-term follow-up. Employment Counselors work with employers, providing support as needed to ensure successful outcomes for participants in obtaining and maintaining paid employment.
