**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.

- 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)
