Workforce Funder Collaborative

The Counselling Foundation of Canada is a supporter of The Workforce Funder Collaborative — a group of philanthropic minded organizations that have combined efforts and resources in support of a shared mission: improving workforce development and advancing systemic change to create a more equitable labour market and economy across the Greater Toronto Area.

The Collaborative has three main goals:

Increase the effectiveness of the workforce system to support workers to prepare for, obtain and retain in-demand, quality jobs.
Increase access to quality jobs and economic mobility for job seekers and workers who face barriers in the labour market.
Increase employer investment in the development of their current and future workforces.

The Counselling Foundation of Canada acknowledges the Huron-Wendat, Petun, Haundenosaunee, Anishinaabe and Mississauga Anishinaabe of New Credit share a special relationship to the territory in which our office is located. Toronto's long history of being a meeting place and centre of trade & commerce began thousands of years ago. Today, it is home to Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island and many who have come from away. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work in this territory and commit ourselves to learning the truth of our shared history and to engage in the process of reconciliation.
