Service points for individuals

Are you temporarily unemployed? Are there obstacles preventing you from finding a job? Are you simply looking for a new job? We have local employment centres (CLEs) across Québec that can provide the following, according to your situation:

  • Help and tools for all the steps during your job search. Visit our multiservice rooms.
  • Personalized services (available upon appointment only), that will help you enter the labour market. The services proposed to you will take into account your situation (you haven’t worked in a number of years, your training is no longer up-to-date, you must complete secondary school in order to begin vocational training, etc.).

You can also obtain social solidarity services for employment-assistance beneficiaries at the CLEs.

The Multiservice Room: An Employment Clearinghouse

Do you want information on the labour market? Need a place to write your résumé? Every local employment centre (CLE) has a multiservice room for people seeking to enter or re-enter the job market. This room is equipped with a host of tools to facilitate your job search.

What you will find in the multiservice room

  • Documentation on the regional labour market, in-demand trades and occupations, the skills employers are looking for, employment trends in the various economic sectors, hiring conditions in your region and in Québec as a whole.
  • Telephones, fax machines, computers, printers and photocopiers that you can use to contact potential employers or write your résumé or letters of application.
  • Bulletin boards posting information on job openings, upgrading courses, services offered in your community or region, practical advice on how to find a job, etc.
  • Display stands with information brochures on Emploi-Québec measures and services.

In the multiservice room, you can also consult job offers and post applications on job-search sites such as Online Placement, one of the free services offered by Emploi-Québec.

Important

Due to the heavy use of computers, we recommend that you ask the CLE staff to specify the best time to find a free computer.

Personalized employment services

Our employment-assistance officers are available to work with you in order to find solutions to the obstacles that prevent you from entering the job market.

Have you been unable to find a job, despite your efforts? 

  • Do you lack basic writing and math skills?
  • Have you been out of the labour market for a long time?
  • Are you having trouble identifying your strengths and the aspects you could improve?
  • Would you like to know more about how to act during a job interview?
  • Does your past make it difficult for you to find a job?
  • Do you need general or vocational training to change fields, increase your skills or adapt to new technology?
  • Would you like to start a business but need advice on how to go about it?

Make an appointment with an assistance officer at the nearest local employment centre (CLE) Ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre.. If your situation requires personalized services, we will decide with you on the measures to be taken in order for you to find a job and will prepare a personalized intervention plan.
