Construct’s Mission


To offer quality labour services by empowering those facing barriers to transition to autonomous and full-time employment in the trades.  
While you receive high-quality work from Construct’s team of professionals and their trainees, you are engaging in social change and creating a ripple effect. By hiring Construct, you are lifting our community’s most vulnerable out of poverty.

Theory of Change

… housing stability is achievable through sustainable careers, by providing training and general labour experience to individuals who face barriers to employment, empowering participants with intensive supports, finally transitioning them to independent, and profitable employment.

Constructing a New Path Forward

At the age of 21, my life was in a state of chaos, and I was criminally charged and imprisoned.

When released, I quickly realized opportunities were limited with a criminal record, and my old ways were a constant temptation.

I knew something had to change.

I was determined to start my journey towards legal employment and a meaningful life, but things were not easy. 

After rejections from seven employers, I was introduced to Blue Door’s Construct program.

That’s where everything changed.

At Construct, I had a supportive environment. 

I learned crucial life skills like accountability, punctuality, and confidence as well as technical skills and experience needed to land a career in construction. 

Just two years after being at my lowest point, I am a completely different person thanks to Blue Door and Construct. 

I have such pride in the person I have grown into, and how much I have developed as a trades professional.

I now have a full-time job, and my own car, and I am hoping to find a place for myself very soon.
