Emerit Helps People Get to Work

For over twenty years, Emerit has helped organisations and programs serving new Canadians, refugees, Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, at-risk youth and others facing barriers to entering the workforce gain the skills and confidence they need to find and keep meaningful employment, improve their lives and contribute to their communities. Training, certification, and labour market intelligence from Emerit are excellent resources for agencies and organizations focused on preparing individuals for employment.

Emerit's Workplace Essentials and Canadian Workplace Essentials are focused on developing the transferable skills, or "soft skills", necessary to be successful in any career. They provide insight into typical Canadian workplace culture and what is expected of an employee and help them meet industry standards in areas including professionalism, working with others, communication, critical thinking and customer service.

In addition, occupation-specific training and professional certification is available for many professions and trades that are suitable for entry level candidates. This training is available in English or French, online or as paper workbooks, and gives the learner the skills and knowledge required to be successful in the occupation through realistic examples and activities. Certification provides industry recognition of the skills and knowledge demonstrated by the learner in their occupation.

These occupations provide the starting point for many careers, and the experience they provide can often lead to advancement within the industry.

Training available includes:

• Canadian Workplace Essentials
• Food Service Counter Attendant
• Front Desk Agent
• Housekeeping Room Attendant
• Line Cook
• Workplace Essentials

 

For specific program needs, Emerit has the expertise and experience to provide customized training content and to license use of relevant existing training material from our extensive training library.

Labour Market Intelligence   from Emerit benefits serving agencies by providing accurate data on the current and future state of the tourism labour market.

Knowing where shortages are occurring or are expected, and which occupations are affected, and typical levels of compensation and benefits by job type and location can assist agencies with career planning and job placement activities. This data is available as full reports, summary reports or can be customized to provide specific information requested by an organization.

Did you know the cost associated with TIANB's Summit may be tax deductible? The Income Tax Act (ITA) states that you may deduct the costs of two conventions in any one year. The conventions must be related to your business and located where the sponsor conducts its business. Since beverages, food or entertainment are included in the Summit price, you would be required to deduct $50.00 a day for these expenses from your claim for the registration fee, where  the 50% rule applies to these type of expenses.

Let's illustrate this with an example. Shelley attended a two day TIANB Summit that cost her $265.00. The amount for meals and entertainment was not itemized. Shelley's convention expense would be $165.00 ($265.00 - 50x2).  Shelley can also claim a meal and entertainment expense of $50.00 (50x2x50%).
