With funding and support from all three levels of government, the United Way Greater Toronto, and a significant list of corporate sponsors. We serve over 56,000 clients each year, at our seven locations across the Greater Toronto Area and online. Eighty-six percent of our clients are newcomers to Canada. Our reach extends to pre‐arrival immigrants and our reputation for success and service excellence is well‐known across the immigration and employment sectors and the many communities we serve. We have been serving the City of Toronto, the Province of Ontario and Canada for more than 37 years.
Our Vision
Our Mission
ACCES Employment assists job seekers from diverse backgrounds, who are facing barriers to employment, to integrate into the Canadian job market. We achieve this by providing employment services, linking employers to skilled people and building strong networks in collaboration with community partners.
Our Values
Land Acknowledgement
We are deeply committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion; at the forefront we honour Indigenous communities across Canada, it is their sacred land on which we are privileged to live and work. In the Greater Toronto Area, where ACCES operates, we acknowledge this land is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
As we carry out our mission of supporting job seekers, many of whom are recent immigrants to Canada, we embrace our responsibility to learn about the history and culture of Indigenous communities, the past and present harm, and impact of colonialism, including the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, and we are committed to working together towards building a more inclusive, just, and equitable future.
