Employment Assistance
Employment Assistance offices are located in Fort St. John, Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek.
With the opening of EAS offices in Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek in 2006, resources have been streamlined to ensure that First Nations in communities outside of Fort St. John and in remote places outside of Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek, are provided with training and assistance in employment search. EAS offices offer a safe, secure and confidential place for clients to come. The offices also provide clients with a friendly and supportive atmosphere where they can receive one-on-one career counseling.
Our ultimate goal is to be a portal between clients and industries. We continue to work towards connecting the two, by offering job opportunities and training for clients in order to match them up with industries.
