When Shukrah came to Canada, one of her biggest priorities was securing employment. On one of her trips downtown, Shukrah noticed the OFE building sign and decided to make a quick drop-in to inquire about our services. This would mark the beginning of her journey with OFE. After an assessment of her skills and education, and taking into account her future career aspirations, Shukrah was deemed a great candidate for the Disability Support Worker (DSW) training. She completed the training as well as several other modules: Self-Marketing Preparation, Workplace Preparation, and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention. Shukrah came to OFE back in February of this year and was hired in March of 2024 as a Disability Support Worker! Her Employment Consultant was recently in contact with her and she continues to work full-time in this field! We are so happy that she has found full-time meaningful work.

Ana Lapina and Helen Toye, HR Representatives from Epic Opportunities, came to OFE on October 18, 2024 for a hiring event and interviewed more than 20 applicants for Direct Support Professional (DSP) positions. Epic Opportunities has been an employer partner of OFE for over 5 years now. They have had a positive experience with those they have hired from OFE because they are job ready, especially if they have taken the Direct Support Worker training offered at OFE. We look forward to continuing our relationship and providing them with job ready candidates to fill their positions. Contact us today to find out more about hiring events: rosaliet@ofe.ca or call Rosalie directly at: 204-925-5281. #opportunitiesforemployment #winnipeg #hiringevent #jobopportunities #directsupportprofessional #epicopportunities #ofewinnipeg #employmentservices #jobreadiness #supportworkers #careeropportunities #winnipegjobs #hrprofessionals #communitysupport #jobtraining

Joseph was a participant in our Community Home Services Program at OFE. He was eager to work, but lacked recent work experience. During his time at OFE, Joseph grew in confidence, had a great attitude and became a valuable asset to the team. As a result, he is now working full-time at a furniture warehouse. Congratulations Joseph! #winnipeg #jobsuccess #directsupportprofessional #disabilitysupport #ofewinnipeg #jobtraining #employmentservices #careerpath #jobseekers #winnipegnonprofit #supportworker #careergoals #celebratesuccess #workforcedevelopment #trainingforjobs #jobopportunity #communitysupport #skillsforlife #waytogo #jobreadiness
