John Howard Society of Okanagan & Kootenay Back to Provincial Site

Meaningful employment and education not only provide us with the financial means to sustain our livelihoods but also allow us to be productive, contributing members of society.

Employment and education provide a strong sense of social value, enable the development of networks of support and belonging, and build our knowledge and self-esteem. These key components can also mitigate risk and help people deal more effectively with stressful events. Providing the training, supports, and opportunities necessary for people facing complex barriers to secure and maintain employment that meets their interests and capabilities is one of the most fundamental ways that we can contribute to a safe, healthy, and inclusive community for all.
