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.
