YES offers workshops for job seekers, entrepreneurs and artists who are seeking employment or in the process of starting or growing a business. Workshops are given by our experienced counsellors and staff, or by specialists in specific fields. Registration is required for all evening workshops and some daytime workshops.
If you are visiting YES for the first time, please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the workshop/course. Late arrivals (more than 10 minutes) will not be permitted entrance to group workshops/courses. Workshop registration is subject to availability. Schedules are subject to change. Please call or visit our centre for more information.
Our daytime workshops are available on a drop-in basis or by pre-registration. Workshops are limited to 30 participants and fill up quickly; pre-registration is strongly recommended. Please call us for details or to register. Pre-registration is mandatory for all evening workshops. Late arrivals for workshops will not be admitted as they are disruptive to the group. Where there is a fee for a workshop you may register in person, online (www.yesmontreal.ca), by mail, by fax or by phone. Payments can be made using cash, cheque or credit card. For registration information, please call 514-878-9788. Workshop payments of $15 or less are non-transferable and non-refundable. Cancellations for the Start Your Own Business Seminar Series, Investor's Series and French courses must be received two business days before the start of the FIRST workshop in the series.
Please note: As wait lists can be quite long, if you are unable to keep an appointment at YES, you must advise us at least one business day in advance. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be required to reschedule. We reserve the right to deny future services.
Artist and Entrepreneurship Services: For a one-time $20 file activation fee you will have unlimited access to specialized entrepreneurship and artists’ services including coaching, legal clinics and accounting clinics. You will be exempt from this fee if you are receiving social assistance at the time of your appointment, proof must be provided. To cancel or reschedule an appointment, you must provide at least one business day’s notice to ensure that other clients have the opportunity to be served. A $5 fee to reactivate your file will be charged to you in the event that insufficient cancellation notice is provided.
