Circle commmunity
portal

Fortem’s Circle community portal is an online platform that brings together career development resources, self-paced learning including pre-recorded and live workshops, and peer connection in one secure space. It is designed to support individuals who are navigating career transition by giving them ongoing access to tools, guidance, and learning materials outside of one-on-one appointments.

Circle can be accessed anytime and allows participants to progress at their own pace while still feeling connected to professional support and a broader community.*

*Circle is available to first responders who are participating in the Career Management Program.

‘The resources, particularly around transferable skills, resumes and cover letters, and interview skills are great for increasing
confidence and improving applications.’
