OUR HISTORY
Amber Education Services Ltd. was founded in 1994 and is co-owned by Wade and Karen Simmons. In its original vision Amber Education Services Ltd. began by offering instruction and consulting in small business and entrepreneurship. Drawing heavily from their combined 32 years of banking experience, all of our initiatives have been driven by socio-economic need, effectiveness and accountability.
Working as part of the community Amber Education takes an active role by offering time and commitment to numerous enterprises such as Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development agencies and services for persons living with disabilities.
In May of 2002, Amber Education Services Ltd. was successful in obtaining the Community Co-ordination agreement for the Training Support Program. For the last eight years this program has been the largest service that we deliver. To date we have worked with more than 3000 applicants while maintaining an 85-90% approval percentage and 80% employment outcome for those that complete their Training Support Program contracts.
After sixteen years of providing service, Amber Education Services Ltd. is pleased to be part of the south central Vancouver Island economies and look forward to the challenges in the coming months and years.
