It’s an opportunity to work alongside a talented, dedicated team, strong community partners and employers across Vancouver Island North; and to help build stronger workforces, greater community capacity and a more resilient North Island.

Our 2025/26 Annual Business Report is here, and we’re especially proud of this one. 

As NIEFS celebrates 40 years of connecting people with work, this year’s report looks back on an incredible year of impact, partnership and progress across the North Island, while also reflecting on four decades of growing and adapting alongside the communities we serve.

It’s filled with the people, programs, partnerships and moments that remind us why this work matters. 

Take a look, celebrate the year with us, and see what 40 years strong looks like.
