John Howard Society Becomes a Hub Regular!

The John Howard Society (JHS) of Durham Region will be offering employment services at the Lakeview Hub, 799 Douglas Street, every other Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The JHS will provide comprehensive employment and job search services, skills assessments, interests and experience, job search strategies, including resume preparation, information about careers and occupations, the local labour market, employment and training opportunities, on-the-job training, work experience, help in maintaining employment, and information and referral to other employment and community services.

The Hub is excited to have employment specialists on site every Wednesday who can help you build your resume by guiding it, tailoring it to specific job postings, highlighting relevant skills and experiences, and ensuring clarity and professionalism. They may also help identify transferable skills needed for different jobs, assist with effectively formatting the resume, and provide feedback on content to make it more appealing to potential employers.

JHS in your community can help you with:

· Resume building and writing standout cover letters

· Job search strategies and networking tips

· Interview preparation and mock interview practice

· Understanding workplace expectations and professionalism

  • Soft skills development for workplace success

 

The Hub’s mission is to empower the Lakeview community by providing local, essential services that cultivate personal and collective growth. Our focus is on real solutions for real people, addressing their practical needs and nurturing their social and emotional well-being.

The Hub is about more than finding jobs—it’s about helping people thrive in all aspects of their lives. By providing employment support that helps individuals holistically connect with the labour market, we aim to meet people where they are, understand their challenges and work with them to build a stronger, more connected community.

At the heart of it, the Hub ensures that everyone in the Lakeview community can grow, succeed, and feel proud of who they are. Lakeview Hub envisions a thriving community where individuals are empowered to reach their full potential. We see a future where everyone has access to the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed—where connections are strengthened, challenges are met with resilience, and every person feels valued, respected, and proud to be part of something bigger. Together, we’re building a stronger, more vibrant Lakeview, where hope and possibility are within everyone’s reach.
