Canadian Career Development Foundation

Is Canada’s jobs-first model failing jobseekers? With little time to address complex needs, many are stuck in a “spin-cycle” of services. A national randomized trial found In Motion & Momentum+ led to 30% higher employment and gains in hope and mental health, while traditional services declined. Join us to explore what works, what doesn’t, and how evidence-informed policy and practice can build a system where all jobseekers have the support they need to thrive.
