“Your support meant so much more to this family than material items, it gave them hope for a brighter future and a belief that their community cares.”
This unexpected letter arrived at Career Edge’s office last week – from a family assisted by Holiday Helpers, a charity providing one-time, personalized Christmas packages to low-income families with young children.
Senior Vice-President Jay Yakabowich explained why Career Edge sponsored a family through Holiday Helpers, “Helping others is paramount to who we are. Career Edge values are the cornerstones of our organization: Integrity, Collaboration, Passion (positively impact another person’s life), and Inclusion (every individual has the right to have an opportunity to contribute to a successful and prosperous Canada).”
As another organization that strives to make a difference and impact lives, Career Edge supports Holiday Helpers for their like-minded passion of ‘creating memories that will last a lifetime’.
Career Edge currently helps recent graduates, graduates with disabilities, newcomers to Canada, and part-time Canadian Armed Forces reservists to break employment barriers and enter the workforce. Over 20-plus years, Career Edge has placed more than 13,000 interns at leading organization in hopes of – like Holiday Helpers – creating everlasting memories. If you represent an organization that serves one of these groups, join us to get your clients working, or visit Holiday Helpers to learn more about their year-round initiatives.
If you’re an employer who can’t wait until the holiday season to impact a life, and wants to make a difference now, visit https://www.careeredge.ca/canada150/ today to hire an intern (and perhaps win a trip for two)!
