History

Spark Employment Services, previously named Sudbury Vocational Resource Centre (SVRC) was established in 1986 to respond to restructuring that was taking place in the mining industry. SVRC rebranded to Spark Employment Services in 2019.

The initiative was called Project 25-44 and was designed to re-integrate males receiving social assistance back into the labor force. As a result of this highly successful program, the organization expanded to provide services in partnership with Federal, Provincial and Regional governments. The organization has a Board of Directors that is highly committed to maintaining a productive, warm and friendly environment where employment and training information can be obtained.
