**Break Barriers. Employ Change.**

Prospect helps people get jobs. We’re a not-for-profit and registered charity, so while the bottom line can’t be ignored, it’s not our priority. Clients are.

Recognizing that not everyone learns in the same way, our methods include art and the great Alberta outdoors as tools. We help young and old, people changing industries, recent immigrants, veterans, people with disabilities, and everyday Albertans who feel that the job search process has become daunting. If that sounds good to you, let’s get to work

**Resource Coordination**
- Communicate current information to applicable team members on labour market and career development trends and best practices
- Track caseloads, workshops, and assessment tools and maintains client information in files, records, stats, and reports

**Community Relations**
- Remain active within a network that includes other career development/career transition professionals, recruiters, workforce planners, learning and development/training specialists, post-secondary program advisors, and HR professionals to stay current on employment trends and activities, best practices and professional development opportunities

**What does it take to do this job?**
- Post-secondary education in a relevant program. A Career Development professional designation is an asset
- Experienced in a similar role working with clients from varying populations (i.e., military, youth, people with disabilities, people with a wide range of mental health challenges)
- Experienced in pre-employment and essential skill development knowledge, such as: job search techniques to tap into the hidden job market; resume and cover letter development; identifying transferable skills; and interviewing skills and techniques to prepare clients
- Innovative with the ability to take initiative
- Problem solving and critical thinking skills
- Intermediate skill level in Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel)
- Experience with Sales Force is an asset
- Professional, driven, charismatic, reliable, and confident individual who thrives under pressure

**Further Notes**:

**Enthusiastic**

Prospect approaches every opportunity with enthusiasm. We drive change with energy, optimism and commitment. Anyone who walks through our doors can feel the positive energy.

**Professional**

In every facet of our work, our actions show a commitment to professional management and service delivery. Prospect is accountable, ethical and honest.

**Innovative**

Prospect creates change by envisioning the end game and creating the means to realize it. We believe

asking “why not?” aids progress. Solutions are created when we think beyond traditional boundaries.

**Inclusive**

Prospect is driven to achieve equal access for all to opportunities and resources. We strive to create a fair, healthy and high-performing environment where everyone is respected, encouraged and motivated, and their contributions help Prospect attain its goals.

**Collaborative**
