WorkBC Centre - Vancouver Midtown East

I phoned this location earlier in the week to confirm my boyfriend would be receiving his payment on time for attending an apprenticeship program. It was confirmed with me via phone that his payment would be at the end of the week. The end of the week came and went and he has not received a payment at all. This was money he was counting on for groceries. I don’t have any money to help support him. Our experience so far in dealing with Work BC has been one of stress and worry. His worker has not given him a payment schedule and we have been given the run around about when to expect support payments. It’s all very confusing and stressful.

Highly unprofessional, as others have mentioned.

Edit/response: It's mentioned that I did not leave a name, and therefore nothing can be done. Keep lying to yourselves! I have spoken to several people at this location regarding my experience and nothing has been done. They knew my name, and exactly what my experience was. This location should be investigated by the Provincial Government and reorganized.

You think you go there because you are help-lesss? When actually the people who suppose to help you are help-less!

Very grateful for all the help and resources Lindsay provided me when I was deep in my job search. She was so patient, kind, understanding, and generous with her time. Gave me a lot of interview tips, reviewed my resume, and gave career advice. She also put me in touch with people for informational interviews. She even checked in with me afterwards when I was 3 months into my new job. I can't say enough good things about her. I also had really positive interactions with Maria who also reviewed my resume. Thank you so much Lindsay, Maria, and Work BC!

WorkBC at this location, 110 East 3rd, I exprinces trible services with this organization. I hope government closed them because I noticed they not really helping anyone and they manipulate the work place. Looks like people working there doing Thier own private work than doing Thier job. I am writing this review because few times observed thier attitude when some needs help from this center. Why government should spent tax payer money for this types of organization!

Very grateful for two girls that confronted me with communication and saved my mental state and nothing else. We did find a job eventually though not one I hoped for…
Grateful for mentioned things although I am not grateful for grey hair, grey beard.
Can’t remember the name of the gentleman but he shouldn’t be working there. Some other Canadian with wish for good work should step in ‍️

It’s unforgettable and unforgiving that someone like him, wherever I saw him like in the middle of MPHS and Indigenous event about really important things between two facilitators and all my colleagues, to bad mouth the organization where he works, city…. Etc! Who is that guy to do that?

Work BC is important organization in this city and deserves to have a strong force working there so they can do their best in beautiful province of BC.
See you soon ;)

Absolutely blown away at the compassion and support I felt through each individual I spoke to. Thank you for helping me feel positive and excited about the next steps I will be taking towards my future. I am soo grateful this is an option for assistance and I took the time to ask for it. Much appreciation and gratitude

The most frustrating experience I've been through in a long time. After going through all the work to get all the appropriate paperwork for a tool purchase. They dragged their feet for over a month then told me I would qualify because to much time has passed. What a sham, nothing but incipient baffons working there.

Great barista training program there 100% recommended. Very helpful and useful to learn your better life for careers.

Not sympathetic to or properly trained in dealing with people with disabilities searching for work.
