ASPECT Profile


The Association of Service Providers for Employability and Career Training (ASPECT) is a non-profit association of approximately 100 community-based employment service agencies in British Columbia that collectively strive to prepare people for the world of work. ASPECT’s annual conference is about sharing and learning from keynotes, workshop presenters, panelists, sponsors, exhibitors, and peers.

ASPECT provides leadership, education, advocacy, and public awareness to support community-based workforce development service providers. We work with governments and interest-holders to meet the needs of those seeking a meaningful and sustainable livelihood.

The community-based employment training sector continues the historic mission of providing holistic, collaborative, and community-based career development opportunities and services to unemployed and underemployed people in BC, including those with disabilities, new immigrants, youth, Indigenous peoples, women, and more.

Our members are also a resource for employers and economic development activities within their communities. Our members are experts at responding quickly to dynamic local labour market needs.


Conference Overview

This is ASPECT’s 34th Annual Conference, and this year’s theme, “Evolving Together: Preparing for the Future of Employment Services,” focuses on the future of community-based employment services and how we can collaborate to adapt to new realities and challenges by helping clients, employers, and community economies prepare for the ever-changing labour market.

Our conference takes place in person at the Delta Hotels Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort in Victoria, BC, on Thursday, November 7 & Friday, November 8, 2024, and aims to support all front-line workers, executives, and other employment professionals passionate about helping British Columbians find and maintain meaningful employment.

Hosted by the Association of Service Providers for Employability and Career Training, the ASPECT Annual Conference is the sector event of the year. Delegates learn new, evidence-based innovations they can use in their communities. The conference has sold out two years in a row.
