Our Mission to Transform Lives
At Essential Work, our mission is to support and uplift organizations and individuals by providing expert digital strategies, tools, and services that enhance their ability to serve their communities. We are dedicated to helping women, 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, visible minorities, and new immigrants gain the tech skills and experience they need to build successful careers in the technology sector. Through our commitment to fostering collaboration, promoting innovation, and driving social impact, we aim to empower those we serve to navigate the complexities of the digital world and create lasting positive change.
We're not a school. But a Career Incubator
We work with under represented minorities who have a hard time finding jobs that fit their skill sets. Through our low cost or free training programs and apprenticeships we help new immigrants in Canada gain valuable Canadian experience by working with member clients who have a need with digital services.
For companies, we work other non-profits, small businesses and associations hire skilled talent to undertake challenging digital projects to help their organizations grow.
Start your path towards a rewarding career in tech.
We’re the first Career Incubator that’s more than just a bootcamp. We’re invested in your success. Our programs are designed to provide proactive, hands-on learning that simulates real-life exercises from the day-to-day. You’ll work on a real-world project that you’ll present on a Demo Day to industry experts at the end of the bootcamp.
