OFE - Opportunities for Employment

On Monday, we will be closed for Remembrance Day. We stand together in gratitude and remembrance for those who have given their lives for our country. From the last Friday in October to Remembrance Day, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who served and sacrificed.

At OFE, we are thrilled to partner with local businesses in Winnipeg to assist with their recruitment and onboarding needs. 🤝 “On behalf of Two Men and a Truck, I would like to express our profound gratitude to Opportunities for Employment (OFE) for your continued support over the past six years. We have employed over ten candidates from your organization without incurring any cost and sometimes with incentives. Indeed, your contributions have helped, not in a small way, as sometimes your candidates, having been trained by your organization, are able to make an indelible mark in terms of contribution to our survival and growth. Once again, thank you, and please keep up the good work.” Rotimi Owoade, President, Two Men and a Truck If you want to learn more about our employer services, contact us today at: employerserivces@ofe.ca or call: 204-926-3101 for more information. #winnipegbusiness #recruitmentservices #employersupport #localbusiness #jobopportunities #staffingwinnipeg #careertraining #workforcewinnipeg #employmentservices #hiringwinnipeg #communitypartnerships #opportunitiesforemployment #winnipeg

🔒 Cybersecurity is crucial during a job search to protect your personal information and safeguard against potential fraud. With the increase in online applications, job seekers often submit sensitive information like social security numbers, addresses, and employment history, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Phishing scams, fake job listings, and malicious links can lead to identity theft or financial loss if applicants are not cautious. By adopting secure online practices you can better protect yourself against cybersecurity risks and maintain control over your personal data.

The first annual Refugee Hiring Event was held in Winnipeg on September 25, 2024 and OFE was there! The event, which is hosted by the Refugee Jobs Agenda Roundtable, provides refugees and forcibly displaced persons in Manitoba the chance to gain valuable interview skills and secure jobs with top local employers – and to overcome a key barrier that many newcomers face in getting access to first jobs: Canadian work requirement. OFE is one of many of the participating partners behind the event and we are excited to see the event expand to assist even more refugees.

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.

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.
