Where Professionals Connect With Opportunity
Executives Available Inc. is a private non-profit organization founded by Father T. McEntee in 1977. At the time, several unemployed management professionals were having difficulty relocating in the workforce, and resources were unavailable to assist them in finding positions. By working together, they were successful in achieving desired results within a shorter time.
The organization, which was self-supporting for twenty years, eventually partnered with the federal government and subsequently Service Québec. EA-CD's goal is to provide employment search services to a greater number of individuals regardless of ethnicity, creed, or language. The partnership was successful and continues to this day.
Multiple mergers and recent cutbacks in management personnel due to the COVID-19 pandemic have had a major impact on today's job market. The Executives Available program continues to help professionals return to the workplace at a faster rate than they could on their own.
Our team of experienced counselors know the ins-and-outs of today's job market and are ready to help you get back on your feet!
