    TESS offices are open to all Toronto residents and their staff provide a range of services including helping people with:

    • finding a job or the training they need to find work
    • accessing financial benefits available through the Ontario Works program
    • connecting to health, housing, childcare and other social services

Tridel's Community Worx is a resource for community members to get connected to available jobs and to get the support needed to find success at every step of their employment journey.
