Finding Clarity, Confidence, and Career Success at WorkBC Maple Ridge
June 23, 2025
Sometimes, all it takes is the right support system to turn a long and frustrating job search into a success. At WorkBC Maple Ridge, clients are finding more than just employment assistance — they’re finding mentorship, compassion, and life-changing guidance. The following stories have been pulled from recent Google Reviews.
One client came to the centre feeling overwhelmed, with a wide variety of skills and no clear direction. Thanks to the thoughtful coaching from Career Advisor Tracy, that confusion quickly turned into clarity. “She sifted my jumbled head with too many skills and gave me sound coaching on what I should concentrate on,” she shared. With additional support from mentor Joe, the client learned how to expertly craft resumes and ace interviews. The client wanted to thank all the staff at the Centre, “all good people representing Canada well.”
Another client echoed this praise after nearly a year of unsuccessfully job hunting alone. When they connected with Employment Placement Specialist Sheryl, everything changed. Not only was Sheryl fantastic at her job she was very accommodating, “I live pretty rurally and wasn’t able to meet in-person, but she was able to meet with me via Zoom and over the phone, which made the whole process so simple and easy.” This support was a game-changer: “In just a few short weeks, I had more interviews than I had the entire previous year,” she said. With Sheryl’s help, including support accessing the Wage Subsidy program and flexible virtual meetings, she secured a role that truly fit her skills and experience. “Now, I’m on my third day at my new job and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a new job, I’d absolutely recommend working with Sheryl and WorkBC Maple Ridge.”
The impact of the team extends across every part of the centre. From Joe’s informative workshops to the compassionate support of Case Manager Noor, Recruiter Ana-Liza, and even the WorkBC Maple Ridge Manager, clients are met with patience and encouragement — even during life’s most chaotic moments. “Everyone was so kind and helpful. You won’t go wrong working with this crew, trust me,” another client shared in a Google Review.
WorkBC Maple Ridge continues to prove that with the right guidance and team, meaningful employment is possible.
