2hr session per week | 8 spaces per group
Want to learn how to make money? Want to learn how to volunteer? Are you ready to join the workforce? Join us at our centre-location to learn how to pursue jobs you might be interested in. By the end of this vocational group, you’ll know how to search online for jobs, you’ll know what you need to write a resume you can hand out to potential employers, and you’ll have practice with an ‘actual’ interview situation. Take the next steps toward being a part of your community! Fine print for caregivers: Participants will join group sessions in person with 1-2 facilitators. Peers will learn alongside each other how to search for employment (volunteer or paid), actively apply for jobs, and participate in interviews. Participants will be expected to complete a mock interview in their final session individually with a novel facilitator (i.e., not with the whole group present) so they may demonstrate the skills they learned in the previous 7 sessions.

Learning to cooperate and see other’s perspectives can be challenging and, at times, uncomfortable for children.
How do we develop these skills while keeping the experience positive? Northern Outreach and Clinical Services in collaboration with Science North will offer an after school program with the focus of building social skills. The focus of this group will be to provide children with the opportunity to build on their social skills as it relates to working cooperatively with others. Through the develop a series of hands-on STEM activities participants will work on a variety of social skills (e.g., conversational, negotiation, perspective-taking etc.) throughout the group sessions and apply the skills to working on a larger project to be presented in the last session. The group will include a general lesson, opportunity for role-play and practice with peers/facilitator(s) and application to natural opportunities during scheduled activities. This group will take place in collaboration with Science North!
