I had a counselor who took a chance, had faith pushed me, pushed me forward and had my back. With the help of Chiemeka, I actually was able to achieve a lot of success, which turned out for me to be a blessing.
From facing unemployment and unstable housing in a new city to securing employment and stable housing, the client’s journey reflects resilience, determination, and the power of meaningful support.
The team is caring, proactive, and truly attentive, offering detailed guidance and personalized one-on-one help. I felt supported, included, and set up for success.
Mike was an amazing teacher, very patient and down to earth. He made learning not so hard and fun! I consider him my mentor now, as I look up to him. He has helped me in so many ways to not only complete course and get a certificate, as well helping me get a laptop and start my new course E.D.G.E+ at Spark.
I came to Spark for help with job searches, résumé development, and interview skills. I gained lots of knowledge and skills that I will carry for life. I secured a managerial position after mock interview preparation with Teresa. 
I have been working with Teresa. I enjoy working with her as she is very efficient, accommodating, and offers a wide range of supportive information for employers. She is very friendly and approachable.
The team at Spark is fantastic to work with. They don’t waste time sending candidates who aren’t a good fit, and the communication is always two-way and effective. 
It was an excellent experience. Everyone at Spark made me feel comfortable, secure, and always supported me in different ways. Through this agency, I was able to get a job in the area I wanted.
Upgrading my computer skills with Spark Employment Services was the best decision. I use my upgraded skills every day. My job is amazing, fast-paced, and challenging, which I enjoy. 
I recently started attending workshops and online courses. The staff are very friendly, honest, and resourceful. Pauline Doucette is welcoming, enthusiastic, professional, and a great asset to this organization.
I enjoyed my training with Spark Employment Services. Spark has improved my confidence, cultural, and emotional intelligence. I recommend Spark Employment Services to all newcomers in Canada.
Spark Employment Services went above and beyond! Teresa was professional and responsive, ensuring our questions were answered in a timely manner. There was no lengthy onboarding process. 
The energy was great and the event runners were amazing at check in at each booth to ensure there was enough water and seating - a great group of people!
Super supportive and encouraging staff! I worked with Amanda. She helped me set goals, review, and update my résumé, as well as provided me with employer and job fair connections. 
We really enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and the opportunity to connect with the community and local entrepreneurs at Spark Up Your Summer! It was a great chance to share NOBEEP’s programs and services.
