A history of helping people succeed at work
WCG began in 1994 as a small HR consulting company.
We focused on providing on-the-job training for employees of small businesses and unemployed British Columbians. From day one, we wanted to help people achieve their potential in the workplace.
Key milestones
We have had the privilege of being a part of these programs since we began supporting job seekers in 1994.
