Lifemark Vocational Services
About Us
Lifemark provides a comprehensive range of vocational services throughout Alberta and across Canada. A guiding belief is that given the necessary skills and opportunities, an individual may participate in meaningful self-directed employment; therefore, improving their overall quality of life.
Our experience includes providing thorough assessment services, comprehensive job planning, employment preparation, supported job search services and job placement with follow-up to some of the most vulnerable Canadians. Through creative and flexible programming, we have become a leader in delivering quality services and achieving superior performance outcomes.
Extensive employer relations and industry partnerships
We maintain an extensive network of employer relationships and we work in partnership with industry leaders to facilitate recruitment by offering access to a pool of qualified candidates to fill job openings.
Many of our programs offer wage contributions and training on various job opportunities to offset recruitment and training costs for employers. Lifemark can assist with the screening and hiring process.
