- Does using LEAP’s Services cost anything?
All of LEAP’s services are completely FREE! LEAP is funded by the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development to administer Employment Services, Youth Job Connection, Youth Job Connection-Summer and Second Career at no cost to you.
- What is Employment Service and how can it help me?
Employment Service allows you to work one on one with a trained Employment Advisor. They will assist you with your job search and administer personalized workshops as needed that will help you reach your goals. This includes weekly meetings and check-ins, help with job searching and applications (resumes, cover letters, etc.) as well as sending you any job postings that might be of interest to you. You will always get to choose which jobs you apply for.
If you are interested in Employment Services, please call or stop by the LEAP office to schedule an intake and assessment appointment!

- How do I register?
Registering with LEAP is simple! Come in to meet with an Employment Advisor at any time or call and make an appointment.
