Helping People Achieve Sustainable Livelihoods

For the last 20 years, the YWCA Saskatoon Employment & Learning Centre has been a place for the community to gain employment skills, take part in workshops, and pursue a better future. We assist women and men alike in following their career path and achieving their employment goals – with the ultimate result being more sustainable livelihoods. From hospitality to construction, human resources to education, and so much more, our clients have found work in many fields and started on new paths to resilience, personal development, and a stable lifestyle for themselves and their families.
