Employment Services - The Resource Room Aris Kaplanis Centre for Youth  
 

The Resource Room is a walk-in service providing Scarborough youth aged 15-30 with strategic support in effectively searching for jobs.

We offer resources to help young people move forward and succeed, including high-speed internet, phone and fax use in a quiet, laid-back atmosphere for study, research, and work.

We want to ensure that people accessing the centre develop the necessary skills to become self-sufficient, confident job searchers. We offer a variety of workshops in key job search topics:


  • tracking down opportunities and accessing the "hidden job market";
  • creating resumes and cover letters that get you through the door;
  • making a great impression on employers (especially in the interview!);
  • career exploration and options; and
  • surviving school: homework and study help.

The Resource Room is a friendly place and we welcome visitors! Drop by whenever we're open...

We're open:
