About Us

**Break Barriers. Employ Change.**
- At Prospect, we value the diversity of people. Diversity at Prospect means a workplace where individual differences are recognized and appreciated, respected and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize each person’s talents and strengths._

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.

We welcome anyone who is looking for a better life through employment. We work with clients who have degrees; we also work with people who are experiencing homelessness or experiencing a mental health condition or challenge. We can help upgrade clients’ skills; we can also work with an employer to help them understand a disability. Above all, we’re creative and resourceful.

- Dispel myths and works to remove stigmas attached to the employment of underrepresented demographics in the community
