We’re focused on your future
Our employment placement and support services
are designed to help individuals reach their full potential.
Employment Connections
Finding the right career helps employees feel more fulfilled at work, leads to better job performance and creates a thriving environment for both employees and employers.
We create positive connections between employers and employees. Professional career counselling helps us determine each person’s skills and what they need in order to shine at work. We work to match employees with employers who are looking for the individual’s skill set and provide an environment for optimal performance.

STEPS Society of Red Deer
The not-for-profit society was established in 1986 with an aim to help adults with developmental or physical disabilities (re)enter the workplace. The society created EPSS which has since grown their services to support youth, and other mature workers throughout the Central Region.
Starting out as one small contract, the society has built a reputation in the community and successfully provided a variety of services to individuals through contracts funded by:
- Service Canada
- Community and Social Services – Central Region (Alberta Works and Disability Services
- Alberta Health Services
- Lifelong Learning Foundation
We continue to explore innovative and creative ways to support individuals who require assistance to grow and enhance their skills.
