TORONTO - April 14, 2025 - PRLog -- Thrive Career Wellness Launches TariffSupport.ca Amid Mounting Trade Tensions

New online resource directory connects Canadians to support services and information to navigate the cross-border tariffs.

TORONTO, ON - April 14, 2025 - Thrive Career Wellness today announced the launch of the Tariff Support website (www.tariffsupport.ca), a comprehensive online directory of government and publicly available services, resources, and support for workers and businesses affected by recent geopolitical events and looming economic challenges.

As Canada faces unprecedented pressure from tariffs imposed by its closest trading partner, this initiative provides Canadian workers and businesses with a centralized access point to navigate available support systems..

"When economic disruption occurs, access to information becomes critical, yet it's often fragmented across multiple resources", said Jeffrey Doucet, CEO of Thrive Career Wellness. "The Tariff Support website provides a single, comprehensive resource that connects individuals and businesses to the support they need when they need it most. We're bringing together an array of information, supports and resources to help Canadians move forward despite a challenging economic environment."

TariffSupport.ca offers:

• Worker Job Search Support: Centralized access to government programs, financial aid, retraining opportunities, and career transition services across all provinces and territories.
• ‍Comprehensive Resource Directory: Assistance for companies navigating supply chain disruptions, market diversification, and workforce planning. ‍
• Direct Access To Advice: Whether you're a worker or business, the team powering tariffsupport.ca can help advise where to take your first steps
  ‍

The TariffSupport.ca initiative comes at a critical time, as economic analysts predict a widespread impact beyond the initially affected sectors. The Canadian auto industry employs 125,000 people, including parts suppliers concentrated around vehicle assembly plants in Southern Ontario (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canadas-...), accounting for 10% of manufacturing GDP and 21% of manufacturing trade. (https://www.tradecommissioner.gc.ca/sectors-secteurs/auto...) The ripple effects of trade tensions could impact communities nationwide.

Thrive currently supports tens of thousands of job seekers across Ontario as part of the EmployNext consortium, as well as deployments in Alberta and other provinces across the country. This new initiative expands that support infrastructure to make resources more accessible and address the specific challenges posed by current economic pressures.

Explore resources to help navigate the economic circumstance at www.tariffsupport.ca. Regular updates will be made as new programs and resources become available in response to evolving economic conditions. On the website, there is an option to submit a resource to the directory. So individuals and organizations can contribute and share information to help build a stronger, more resilient workforce.
