Description

Lifemark CARES, an innovative program poised to address the pressing needs of underemployed, unemployed, and marginally employed parents in the Edmonton area. This initiative is a direct response to the community’s expressed demand for comprehensive employment support, coupled with solutions to the pervasive childcare obstacles faced by countless families and guardians.

Lifemark’s holistic approach aims to not only facilitate job placement but will also assist working parents to improve their work situation and remove barriers that often impede parents from accessing and maintaining meaningful employment.

  • Face barriers like childcare access, limited skills, transport issues, earn below living wage ($18/hour in Edmonton), work irregular shifts (early mornings, evenings, etc.), and need support to enhance employment.

Eligible Expenses

  • Career and Employment workshops (on topics related to work and life skills, career and labour market information, resume and cover letter, computer skills, and more)
