Welcome

The Canadian Society for Social Development (CSSD), a federally incorporated society, is part of the Community Futures Network of British Columbia. Its mandate is to:

  • to provide employment and skills training to persons facing barriers to employment: persons with disabilities, aboriginals, youth, the unemployed and individuals living in rural areas; and
  • to conduct research for the development of programs in the areas of entrepreneurship, leadership and distance learning.

CSSD is Looking for Students...

  • Who have an interest in becoming self employed.
  • Who already have some basic computer skills.
  • Who find it difficult to work outside their homes.
  • Who are unable to attend regular scheduled training programs in their community.
  • Who have a desire to learn and strive for their own independence.

Mission Statement

To ensure equal opportunities for all Canadians, the CSSD, using internet based technologies, will provide entrepreneurial training and will enhance employability for persons experiencing barriers to employment.
