The Success in Motion program's aim is to assist clients to discover where their interests lie and what skills and abilities are required in their field of choice. The program teaches strategies for becoming a functional and desired employee.

 

Success in Motion has a strong emphasis on life skills in addition to employment strategies. It includes the following workshops:

LIFE SKILLS
  • Changes & Stress
  • Self-Esteem
  • Effective Communication Skills
  • Anger Management
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Personality Dimensions
  • EMPLOYMENT STRATEGIES
  • Employability Skills
  • Career Exploration
  • Resume Writing
  • Interview Skills
  • Job Search Techniques
  • Employer Expectations
  • The program is followed by a 2-week placement or job shadow experience that helps each participant to develop skills that will ease the transition into the workplace. Additionally, this job placement provides an opportunity to evaluate how the individual copes in the workplace and may identify employment barriers that were not otherwise evident.

    The success of the program is evaluated by the funding agency, Toronto Social Services, according to whether participants develop in any of the following areas:

    • Having the ability to identify employment barriers
    • Taking steps to address personal issues such as addictions
    • Having developed a realistic awareness of employability skills
    • Showing the ability to move forward into other training or education
    • Completing the job placement
