ASPIRE

At Motive Action, we teach unemployed youth and adults the personal and professional skills they need to succeed with confidence and integrity in the twenty-first century workplace. We work with people from all backgrounds between the ages of 18 and 30.

Our aspirations for our trainees are straightforward: to enable them to acquire marketable workplace skills alongside the positive self-esteem necessary to create long-term benefits for themselves, their families and their wider communities.

From Motive Action’s perspective, being productive means more than doing your job to the highest standard possible and to the very best of your abilities. It is equally important to care about what you do and to realize how your job fits into the bigger picture of your life and the life of your community.

ACTIVATE

Motive Action Training Foundation has been actively working on behalf of unemployed people since 1985. We are a Calgary-based non-profit training organization with charitable status.

Every year, Motive Action provides employment training, work experience, and job maintenance skills for over 100 students who are committed to pursuing rewarding careers in the automotive industry.

Our advocacy on behalf of unemployed people is made possible with the help of funding from Alberta Employment and Immigration (AEI).

ARRIVE

Motive Action’s training is practical and goal-oriented. We enable unemployed people to upgrade their qualifications, improve their essential life management skills and actively engage with industry employers to begin successful apprenticeships upon program completion that will secure them productive employment for the long term.

Our success lies in the success of our trainees. We value and respect the intrinsic worth of all our trainees, at all times striving to safeguard their rights and dignity. We value and encourage a dynamic and professional work site free from prejudice and harassment in which we can effectively deliver high quality, professional programs and services.

For both students and staff, Motive Action values and promotes life-long learning. Our decisions always focus on what is in the best interest of our trainees. We believe in fostering an environment in which divergent opinions can be respectfully heard, honest communication occur, and demonstrations of initiative and leadership take place.
