2nd Chance Employment Counselling provides Guelph and Wellington County with employment counselling services at no cost, through funding from the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada. Through numerous programs, we have been responsible for providing job search and career-planning resources including individual counselling to job seekers of all ages with specialized programmes and counsellors for youth aged 16-30 and people with disabilities. As community needs and the labour market changes, our programmes have also evolved. We have three fully staffed offices with resources centres that provide access to computers, job leads, information on training and community services and staff who can assist with job search needs.
Second Chance is an EmployNext service provider through Employment Ontario funding and currently offer a youth group based programme, Ways2work and a specialized programme for women, Women2work.

2nd Chance Employment Counselling serves a number of areas around Guelph, including: Fergus, Elora, Erin, Harriston, Hillsburgh, Puslinch and Rockwood. Our same level of service and quality programs are extended to each of the communities we serve, as we believe that smaller communities deserve the same level of service as their urban counterparts. We have a variety of job postings available to view on both the Guelph Today website, and on our job posting page here: https://2ndchance.ca/job-search/
