Humber College Community Employment Services Announcement

Humber College currently operates four employment services centres (HCCES) within the Greater Toronto area that serve clients in surrounding communities to achieve their employment goals. These are located at:

  • 555 Burnhamthorpe Road (at The West Mall)
  • 1700 Wilson Ave. (North York Sheridan Mall)
  • 1620 Albion Rd. (at Martin Grove)
  • 1345 St. Clair Ave W. (at Landsdowne)

These are part of the Employment Ontario network funded by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training & Skills Development (MLITSD). The current Ministry agreement ends March 31, 2024. The government has been undertaking a transformation of Ontario’s employment services and will be rolling out a new service delivery model to the Toronto region in spring of 2024. After careful consideration and deliberation, Humber has made the difficult decision not to apply for funding under the new model. As a result, all four of Humber’s Community Employment Centres will close their doors come March 31, 2024.

HCCES has been delivering employment supports to Humber’s surrounding in-need communities for more than 25 years. Humber’s work in this space has come to be highly regarded by government, other service providers in the region, local community partners, and provincially by other Colleges delivering similar programs. The HCCES team is viewed in those networks as experts when it comes to supporting a diverse multi-barriered client group and helping them actualize their employment goals. Their impact on our local communities has been significant, meaningful and mobilizing. I cannot thank them enough for their passion and commitment to their clients and for the difference they have made in their lives. I thank them also for making Humber better through their work, the knowledge they shared, and their advocacy. 

As this team prepares for the next step in their career journey, we encourage you to connect and learn about the exceptional work in which they have been engaged. We thank you in advance for the support we know you will extend to these members of the Humber family during this critical point of transition in their time at Humber.
