Welcome

We provide inspiring, client-centered employment assistance services throughout Haida Gwaii.

The Career Development Centre has been in operation on Haida Gwaii since March 1997 and has been administered by Haida Gwaii Community Futures since 2001. Operating funding was previously received from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada but is now administered by the Employment and Labour Services Division of the provincial Ministry of Housing and Social Development.

Our Centre provides career counseling and employment assistance services to all unemployed Canadians. These services include assistance with resumes and cover letters, job board and job search advice, career counseling and workshops on a range of topics. We can also refer eligible clients for training and funding assistance, self-employment options and other programs.

The Career Development Centre also hosts a research library of calendars for Canada wide post-secondary institutions as well as internet access for researching either education or employment initiatives.

Some of the services that we offer can be accessed on a self-serve basis, some can be handled during an unscheduled drop-in visit, and others, such as career counseling and testing require an appointment with one of the staff. A phone call to the office beforehand will help to determine which options will best serve you.
