The York Region Welcome Centres are a one-stop service designed to guide and support immigrants through the maze of information and resources in York Region. Through a coordinated, integrated case management system, clients are able to access a range of immigrant services, programs, and expertise, all under one roof.
Along with Job Skills, the Welcome Centres are managed by a unique partnership of five immigrant-serving community organizations that also include COSTI Immigrant Services, Catholic Community Services of York Region (CCSYR), Centre for Immigrant and Community Services (CICS), and Social Enterprise for Canada (SEC). The unique service delivery model offers a holistic, flexible approach, featuring a broad range of cross-sector services and expertise, as well as delivering a coordinated, integrated case management system.
Job Skills is responsible for providing employment supports at each of the Welcome Centres in York Region and is responsible for operating the Markham North location.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top=”20″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][gem_list type=”disc-style-1″ color=”5″]
