Operators of The Career Centre and Oceanside Youth Employment
Mission Statement: Central Vancouver Island Job Opportunities Building Society is an established non-profit organization committed to delivering career and work-related services for the benefit of clients and the community. Through the expertise of our staff and labour market resources, we provide access to opportunities that advance individuals toward employment.
The Central Vancouver Island Job Opportunities Building Society (JOBS) is a non-profit organization incorporated in March 1984. It is registered with the Private Post Secondary Education Commission (PPSEC).
From 1977 (prior to the Society's incorporation) to 1995, services were offered through a Federal Outreach contract. In 1995, after a two-year community consultation process, a "One Stop Shop" model was adopted. The Career Centre became the point of entry and registration for all unemployed individuals, acting as the assessment and referral centre for the Parksville/Qualicum region.
In November of 2001, the Society opened OYE! Oceanside Youth Employment to provide employment related services and support to those aged 15 through 30. OYE! is now housed within The Career Resource Room, sharing an expansive selection of resources and services.
