Thrivers

A shortage in skills is costing the economy billions of dollars.

Conference Board of Canada

Thrivers is a social enterprise that turns jobseekers into qualified rockstars.

 

A big reason for the unemployment rate is that many demographics like immigrants, youth, single mothers, and refugees haven’t been trained in the skills needed for the roles available.

 

Thrivers is an agency that empowers people who are experiencing barriers to employment with everything they need to find a rewarding career. 

 

At Thrivers, we facilitate training and certification across a range of industries including logistics, construction, and cyber-security, and we help applicants secure placement at industry-leading companies.

 

People who complete our training courses are driven to succeed and grow. They’ve tackled challenging situations, and they’re motivated to level up their station in life. They’re go-getters who are actively building skills and hungry for opportunities to give it their all.

 

We help companies empower their workforce with a diverse range of skills and perspectives.

 

By partnering with Thrivers, you can strengthen your team while making a truly meaningful contribution to the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. You can also explore corporate responsibility grants to further your ambitions for social good.
