Employment Preparation Workshops

Before being considered into our Job Ready Client list, all clients will go through our
Employment Preparation Workshops. These workshops include Career Objective,
Labour Market Information, Resume & Cover Letter Development, Formal/Informal
Networking & Communications, Job Search Training Techniques, Job Interviewing
Skills, Mock Interview Session, Profile Development and Introduction to Job
Development.
Intake

The Intake process is administered by our Intake Coordinator. The purpose of  this is
to identify the client name, contact information and source of income.
Upon arrival at Oasis the client will be asked to fill out our registration form and sign
a consent to release information page. From there, an appointment will be set up to
meet the Employment Counselor.
Assessment/Action Plan

The Assessment will be held by a certified Career & Employment Counselor. A brief
overview of the services we provide will be explained where a mutual decision can be
made, weather or not Oasis would be a good fit. Client and counselor will discuss
specific employment barriers such as; housing, food/clothing, transportation, family
care and health.  If both parties are satisfied with the outcome the second part
"Action Plan" will be developed.
The Action Plan is based on two criteria's; short term goal and a long term goal. Both
counselor and client will discuss education and training, employment history and skills
relevant to the clients goals.
The counselor will introduce, discuss and arrange a schedule for the Employment
Preparation Workshops.
*NEW* Employment Training Modules *NEW*

Oasis has been working together with a group of experts from Engage Learning
Systems in the development of four Employment Training Modules. Based on our
client review, and employer feedback
we believe that these modules will be a major
asset to our clients job search and retention. These modules were designed with
hopes of increasing the employer confidence of hiring a more job ready employee and
include topics such as; work ethics & values, safety & awareness, communication &
relations and job maintenance & working with others.
