Level Up!

Are you ready to work but need to level-up your skills? The Level Up! Employment and Training program is a paid training program and it might be just what you need to get to work.

Level Up! has two streams designed to best fit your training needs:

Level Up! Launch Pad is a 7-week paid training program in our alternative classroom environment focused building life skills that will help you in your future career.

Level Up! Lift Off is a 7-week paid training in our alternative classroom that teaches the skills you need to get a job and keep it.

Both programs are followed by a supported work placement of up to 16 weeks where you can continue learning on the job.
