Our Mission

As a registered charity organization, YES Employment + Entrepreneurship enriches the community by providing English-language support services to help Quebecers find employment and start and grow businesses.

About YES Employment + Entrepreneurship

YES is a community-based organization that provides comprehensive job-search and entrepreneurial assistance to job-seekers, entrepreneurs and artists in Quebec. With over 17,000 services to more than 3,000 clients each year, YES is an established and much-needed service provider in the province.

After being cut from crucial provincial funding, YES' employment program, which empowers job seekers aged 18 to 35, is now at risk. Each year, this program provides personalized career counseling, skills-building workshops, language training, and other essential supports - services that have proven to be highly effective, with a 79% success rate. Without immediate additional funding, the nearly 1,000 job seekers YES assists each year will be left vulnerable.

YES also offers entrepreneurship and artist programs,  open to individuals of all ages, which include individual coaching services, workshops, an annual conference, and panel speaker and networking events. These programs support more than 2,000 entrepreneurs and contribute to the launch of roughly 600 businesses each year.
