Is this program for me?

Mom of three, exploring her return to work after a career break. 

"Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I hope that you know that your program is truly amazing and is making a difference in the lives of women -  if you ever doubt whether your program works – don’t. It has been life changing!

I have opportunities in front of me that I could never have dreamed of 6 months ago. The job offers that I am getting are incredible. They check off all the boxes that were really, really important to me. I looked back at my notebook from the first few weeks and when Hina asked “what do you really want?” – the things I wrote down were all the things that I am being offered.

I now know my worth (and have added tax) thanks to you."

Professional woman feeling frustrated and undervalued in her current role. 

"I feel like I am living the my dream right now - I have started a new job after several years of trying to figure things out. What the course gave me was: confidence, the right language, the right mindset, the connections and the belief in myself which I had lost over the years. For years I whined that no one would ever hire me or see my potential.

I realize now that it was all in my head - I am NOT too old, I am NOT a tech-dinasour, I am NOT unemployable, I CAN make it through an algorithm and I CAN get my dream job, cuz I did. I LOVE the work I am doing in my new job. I aimed, and I got it."

Woman who was recently laid off from her role in tech

"It is so helpful to realize how many others have the same thoughts and feelings as I do. It is helping me to navigate my thinking, validating positive emotions and discarding negative emotions as ‘human nature’ rather fact. Just talking about this stuff is helpful, to bring it front and center in the mind and actually dealing with it, rather than allowing it to place limits on your life and opportunities. Thank you for creating this space. It feels so good having a whole network of like-minded and empathetic women, cheering me on and wanting to help each other succeed and that during these times we are not alone."

Mid-career professional who felt stuck in a series of dead end roles.

"I got a promotion today! I wrote up the job description that I really wanted and submitted it to the higher-ups. They accepted it this morning. As of today, I am the new E-commerce & Product Data Specialist (and I got a raise!) I couldn't have done it without all of your help and this program, I am immensely grateful."

Immigrant with an eight year career break.

"This program has really blown my mind. Finding a career that works for me has felt like an almost overwhelming challenge where the goal creeps further away the longer I leave it. This program validated and built upon my skill set, with incredible instructors and coaches who were championing me the whole way, inspiring me to follow my career dreams because I can do it, I have what it takes and I'm worth it."

Mid-career professional suffering from burn out.

"I’m excited about the opportunity, a bit nervous about the process but I'm just so darn proud of myself that I can actually see myself in a role like that again. That wouldn’t have been possible back in Jan/Feb of this year when we first talked! Thank you."

If you identify as a woman or other marginalized gender and are ready to find work in alignment with your personal and professional goals... this program is for you.

"Participating in this program has easily been a highlight in my professional development of the last decade, and definitely a light at the end of the tunnel during a challenging (devastating?) period.

I feel empowered, excited about the future and equipped to take on work that is worth it." - Kelley

Meet Aviva Canada

At Aviva we believe in speaking up when something isn’t right, in striving for more inclusive communities and using our expertise and experience to make an impact. 

The pandemic further highlighted the inequities that women and other marginalized genders were already facing in the labour market. Making it even harder to find and maintain work that aligned with their career goals and their personal circumstances. We have seen it in our communities and many of us have experienced it first hand. That kind of impact doesn't go away overnight. 

We recognize there still exists a lack of support and opportunity for women and other marginalized genders in the market and we wanted to offer tangible support. So we reached out to tellent. 

We knew that we had an opportunity to help. That, with tellent, we could support women and other marginalized genders in finding their next right career move, with us or somewhere else.

As we start to re-think, re-build, re-design, restart or refresh our professional and personal pathways, we want to give women and other marginalized genders the support they need, when they need it.

Meet tellent

tellent is a diversity recruitment and social impact company on a mission to unleash the power of women in the workforce. Operating across Canada since 2016, we support mid-career professional women in finding work that aligns with their personal and professional goals. 

As we emerge from an extended period of heightened uncertainty in our markets, our jobs, our households and our communities we have seen more and more women pause and reflect on what it is they truly want as they consider their next professional move. 

For the last two years we have helped hundreds of women whose careers have been impacted by the pandemic rediscover their professional potential and reimagine their career possibilities in this new and changing economy. We do this through our six month coaching program and collective, the Propeller Experience.  

We approached Aviva Canada because we love their commitment to inclusion and we saw an opportunity to do something different. To help women and other marginalized genders navigate their pause and reflection with greater ease, and better results. To not only support them in getting clear on what it is they want but to give them opportunity (through hiring), support (through mentorship) and a network to accelerate their next professional move.
