Meet
Brock
Backstory:
Brock came to Job Zone d’emploi looking for support to start an apprenticeship in the skilled trades. He was especially interested in becoming a Truck and Coach Technician, but without formal training or hands-on experience, he struggled to find an employer willing to take a chance on him.
Big win:
After working with a Job Developer, Brock was successfully placed with Konink Logistics Inc. in Ingleside, Ontario. When his Job Zone d’emploi placement contract ended, he officially registered as a Truck and Coach Apprentice — and is now building a strong future in the trade with Konink.
How we helped:
One-on-one support, career exploration, employer connection, placement assistance, and continued guidance along the apprenticeship pathway.
From our team:
“Brock showed perseverance, curiosity, and commitment — and now he’s turning ambition into a career he can grow in for years to come.”

Connect with usAll our services are completely FREE.
Everything is tailored to your situation. That can include career guidance, resume and interview help, skills training, job search support, connections with local employers, and ongoing support for up to a year.
You’ll first meet with a job counsellor to have a chat about what help you need. Please bring your photo ID, SIN, and if you have a resume, bring that too. If you’re new to Canada, bring your immigration status documents.
Yes! We have offices in Cornwall, Winchester, and Morrisburg. Once a month, we also have pop-up services at the Cornwall Youth Hub.
In Cornwall, yes! We’re around the corner from the main bus stop at Pitt Street and 2nd Street.
No — and that's a good thing. A placement agency matches you with a job and moves on. We do something different. We get to know you, help you build a real plan, and support you with training, job search coaching, resume help, and direct connections with local employers. And once you find work, we stay in your corner for up to 12 months to make sure it sticks. It's personal, it's free, and it's built around you.
Absolutely. Whether you need a second job or a career change, we can help.
Yes, virtual appointments are available. Just let us know!
Not having references doesn't mean you're stuck. We'll help you think through who could speak to your strengths. That might be a volunteer coordinator, a teacher, a community leader, or someone else who knows your character. We work through this together.
You'll have one main job counsellor who gets to know you and your goals. Once you land a job, a retention specialist steps in to support you for up to a full year — check-ins, advice, and help if any bumps come up. You'll always have someone in your corner.
