Prospect Human Services

What we are seeking

When was the last time you worked with an organization with a real purpose? Not a slogan or a jingle. A purpose that made society better. Something that you could identify with from day one. Has it been a while? Never? Well, here’s where your luck changes.

Prospect is one of Alberta’s leading not-for-profits. We live by four words: Break barriers. Employ change. Yes, it’s right there under our logo. No, it’s not just a tag line. Anywhere people face barriers to employment, we’re there to help.

We are looking for volunteers to assist in our Digital Literacy Program. Located at Prospect’s Strathmore location, the volunteer would be assisting our clients once per week to strengthen their digital literacy and provide guidance on job search tools.

What you will do

The Digital Literacy Volunteer helps to break barriers to employment by assisting clients to upskill their computer knowledge.

In this extremely rewarding volunteer role, you will be responsible for the following:

• Assist participants in digital literacy learning goals related to connecting to employment or education.
• Provide basic computer skill training to job seekers ie. Attaching a resume to an email, setting up an Indeed account.
• Will be facilitated Fridays 10:00 am – 12:00 pm at the Prospect Strathmore office.
• Maximum attendees per session will be 2-3.
• Ability to determine client needs and plan instruction.

If you have a passion for Digital Literacy and a desire to empower others, we want to hear from you!

About Us

Break Barriers. Employ Change.

At Prospect, we value the diversity of people. Diversity at Prospect means a workplace where individual differences are recognized and appreciated, respected, and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize each person’s talents and strengths.

Prospect helps people get jobs. We’re a not-for-profit and registered charity, so while the bottom line can’t be ignored, it’s not our priority. Clients are.

Prospect strongly believes in its five brand pillars and is looking for great candidates who share the same beliefs:

Enthusiastic

Prospect approaches every opportunity with enthusiasm. We drive change with energy, optimism, and commitment. Anyone who walks through our doors can feel the positive energy.

Professional

In every facet of our work, our actions show a commitment to professional management and service delivery. Prospect is accountable, ethical, and honest.

Innovative

Prospect creates change by envisioning the end game and creating the means to realize it. We believe asking “why not?” aids progress. Solutions are created when we think beyond traditional boundaries.

Inclusive

Prospect is driven to achieve equal access for all to opportunities and resources. We strive to create a fair, healthy and high-performing environment where everyone is respected, encouraged, and motivated, and their contributions help Prospect attain its goals.

Collaborative

Prospect seeks different perspectives. All parties must be engaged, including for-profit, not-for-profit, funders and government. Only by understanding all points of view can we create inclusive workplaces.
