Are we the right program for you? You can read info below or take this quick self-assessment quiz: https://keewinnipeg.com/quiz

KEE is a unique "find a job" program because we not only train people through a variety of work and job search related workshops (free training), we actually place people in jobs in Winnipeg (when jobs are available). This means, however, that we are limited by the work requirements of our different employers. For example, if the job is physically demanding, we can only send people who are physically able to do that sort of work.

The vast amount of employers we work with require clients to have a clean criminal record (depending on current available job openings, exceptions may be made for old DUI, possession or domestic charges). If you know of any employers that will hire people with criminal records, we would be grateful for the information so we can establish relationships with them so we can better serve clients with records. 

We must be able to reach you for interviews or to be given other information. Clients must be able to answer blocked calls on their phone. If you do not have any way to be contacted directly on a daily basis, it's important that you line this up so we can help you attain employment.

In efforts to maintain good relationships with employers so they keep hiring our clients, our clients must be reliable, be in touch and follow action plans in order to obtain a job placement through our program. 

Clients should be a minimum of 18 years old. Some exceptions may be made for ages 16 and 17 as determined on a case by case basis.

Clients must be able to clearly communicate directly with employers, co-workers and customers in writing, over the phone and/or in person. We are looking for new employers that will hire clients with limited English skills, if you know of any, we would be grateful for their contact information so we can help serve this demographic looking for employment. 

If clients have children, they require to have reliable child care in place.

Clients must be physically and mentally healthy and not currently struggling with addiction issues. There are other agencies who specialize in helping this demographic attain employment, we can help you by referring you to them if needed.

If you are receiving Employment Income Assistance (aka social assistance), please speak to your case worker for a referral.
