About Futureworx

OUR MISSION

Futureworx Society’s mission is to provide employment opportunities to recognize potential and develop employment skills. With a goal to “help people reach their potential” Futureworx activities centre around four pillars – Engage, Inspire, Educate and Innovate.

OUR FUNDERS

Province of Nova Scotia; Department of Community Services, Nova Scotia Department of Labour and Advanced Education. Service Canada and the Counselling Foundation of Canada.

OUR PURPOSE

Futureworx Society is a non profit community based organization structured to help people with diverse needs identify their strengths and goals, develop skills and achieve success in school, work, and life. We offer an expansive range of employment, educational, and training programs, as well as, business, corporate and customized services that innovatively respond to the needs of our community, our province and our partners across Canada and internationally.

Nova Scotia Works

Futureworx is now a Nova Scotia Works Employment Services Centre. We help job seekers and employers navigate a range of programs – from career planning, job searches and on-the-job development to recruitment, planning and HR support.

Employability Skills Assessment Tool

The Employability Skills Assessment Tool (ESAT) provides a framework and quantitative assessment methodology for the development of nine employability skills: motivation, attitude, accountability, time management, stress management, presentation, teamwork, adaptability and confidence.

Our management team spent the last couple of days in an “Idea Summit” within the context of continuing to grow and enhance Futureworx’s impact on our clients, employers, community, and the province, and nationally. Oceanstone Seaside Resort created a space to think creatively, boldly and bravely; to have some fun, share a few laughs and do the serious work of dreaming about what might be possible.We set aside the realities and practicalities that often inhibit our bold and crazy ideas.#StrategicPlanning #IdeaGeneration #Engage #Inspire #Educate #Innovate ...
