About ERC

Employment Resource Centre

Welcome to the Gateway Association Employment Resource Centre (ERC) serving the greater Calgary and Edmonton areas – Treaty 6 and Treaty 7 territories. Gateway serves job seekers and employers equally to build strong, diverse talent pools and a sustainable workforce. Whether you’re seeking a career that uses your talents and passion – or an employer seeking to build workplace diversity, inclusion and performance, Gateway offers the expertise and resources required.

HOW WE HELP

Capacity-Building and Talent Matching

Job Seeker Support

Gateway works with job seekers to identify their talents, skills and passions – and then matches those job seekers to the workplaces that need them. We help job seekers identify, prepare for, seek, acquire and retain the jobs in which they can perform their best.

Employer Support

Gateway offers a wide range of workplace diversity and inclusion resources including talent sourcing, onboarding support and EDI resources and consultation. We specialize in the ‘how-to’ part of workplace EDI and help employers to build engagement and attract talent.

EDI EMPLOYER RESOURCES

What was previously known as the GEDI-Hub,  has been adapted into over 50 virtual resources including toolkits, reports and workshops – Navigate at your own pace, free of charge. 

SUCCESS STORIES

Testimonials

“Gateway showed me that there are companies that actually care about your own well being, they want you to be able to meet your basic needs, they want to see you grow, they want to see you move up to be a supervisor or manager and be a valuable part of the company and not just a number!

Lex (She/Her) – Get Work Participant

“I think Gateway is an amazing program for people struggling to enter the workforce. I received help with building a good resume, and learned how to create cover letters and follow up with potential employers. Gateway connected me to WHIMIS, First Aid and Forklift Safety training. I succeeded in finding a job where I will gain valuable experience for the future.”

Ken (He/Him)

“The largest hurdles for me were both in finding work within my career as someone with little experience, as well as someone who struggles with interviews. I was connected to I.A.T.S.E 212 (film labour union in Calgary) by Gateway Association,...The project at Caverna Productions Inc. has given me a great basis to start from, as well as some initial experience in my career to pursue further jobs in entertainment.”

Dillon (He/Him)- Get Work Participant

“Thank you so much for all your help and support those months. Because of that, I have the chance to go for English class, jam club, and volunteer work as well. I will keep going and tell you any update information in the future.”

Sifan (He/Him)

I did get the job I wanted, at the Calgary Zoo… I surprised myself, in a good way. I made friends, did my job well, and helped wherever I could. It was very fulfilling! I would, and already have, recommend the Gateway Association to absolutely anyone... Everyone I met in that building were just such wonderful and kind people with awesome and lovable personalities… My only regret is that we weren’t able to work together more!”
