Currently we offer training in several sectors listed below, with the intention of expanding our roster to cover the vast majority of HT-affected industries by the end of 2022.

Coming in 2022
Agriculture
Forced labor in the agriculture industry is a growing problem in North America. Our team of survivors and frontline workers, with members of the Canadian government, are currently developing a new educational package to support farmers and corporations in the food industry to be able to prevent human trafficking by spotting the signs of human rights abuses and human trafficking in the agriculture and food sectors. Courses will be offered to frontline workers, management, HR and government officials such as auditors, inspectors, health and safety regulators and investigators. This course will be offered in partnership with large responsible investor corporations such as Mackenzie Investments.
Health Care
Our survivor educators have teamed up with Canada's top health care providers to create the most comprehensive, survivor-focused health care education for ER doctors, nurses and family doctors. We have advised various agencies including the Government of Canada for new measurements and legislation around human trafficking in the health care industry.
Hospitality
Hotels, Airbnb, and short and long term property rentals are the most common places where domestic sex trafficked victims are exploited. Know the signs! Human trafficking-related lawsuits against hotels are becoming more common with hefty fines and reputational damages. Let us help you get ahead of these issues by hiring our survivor educator team to teach the signs, prevention and solutions. Our victim-focused employment training is offered to the following staff: human resources, front desk, housekeeping, security, event management, and app designers who design automated check-in and check out monitoring.
