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.
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.
Recently our Employer Engagement Specialist from Colchester was invited by the Office of African Nova Scotian Affairs to join them and other community leaders/organizations for an interactive morning at the Nova Scotia Construction Sector Council Trades Exhibition Hall. This hall is a unique venue that offers students, job seekers, employment counsellors, teachers, and the general public an opportunity to experience construction occupations in a tangible way.
The Hall features 14 interactive exhibits (booths) where visitors can learn about construction careers by participating in a variety of hands-on demonstrations and speaking with industry professionals at different stages of their careers. A few examples of the booths are: Boilermaker, Bricklayer, Carpenter/Millwright, Electrician, Management, Operating Engineer, and Sheet Metal Worker.

We recently hosted the first EmployABILITY Business Breakfast in Truro in celebration of DEAM – Disability Employment Awareness Month. This was also the first DEAM event ever to be held in Nova Scotia!
We were so enthused by the turnout of employers and service providers to hear an inspiring and engaging presentation from Mark Wafer on the Economics of Inclusion.
We are very appreciative for our partners in making this event happen; a huge thank you to our co-hosts MentorAbility TEAMWork Cooperative and to our sponsors Community Credit Union and Community Wealth Strategies.
