THE VANCOUVER NORTHEAST COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

The Vancouver Northeast Community Partnership was formed in February 2011 to provide employment services to the residents of Northeast Vancouver which covers the neighhourhoods of Hastings-Sunrise, Renfrew-Collingwood and parts of Cedar-Cottage Kensington.

The Vancouver Northeast Community Partnership includes:

• Back in Motion
• BC Centre for Ability
• Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House
• Kiwassa Neighbourhood House
• Vancouver East Side Educational Enrichment Society (VEEES)

Together, these organizations have more than 125 years of experience providing employment and other services to local residents. Over the years, they have helped thousands of job seekers find work, including young people, newcomers, and persons with disabilities and they’ve worked with hundreds of employers to meet their recruiting needs.
 
The Partners decided that by working together they could improve opportunities for successful programming; create stronger and better employment services for the community; build on the complementary employment services skills and experiences of each organization; strengthen each organization; and, be more strategic in the use of resources.
 
Under the leadership of MOSAIC, the organizations are now providing employment services in the Vancouver Northeast Employment Centre as part of the Employment Program of British Columbia. For an overview of our services, visit “About the Northeast ESC Services”
 
The following values describe our approach:

• Person-centred
• Integrated, seamless service delivery
• Learning and sharing environment
• Flexible responses to job seekers’ employment goals
• Creative use of resources
• A consistent quality of service

The Vancouver Community Partnership celebrates getting the green light to open the Vancouver Northeast Employment Centre on April 2, 2012.
