ReTrain Canada

What ReTrain Canada does

ReTrain Canada is a Calgary-based workforce training and vocational rehabilitation provider founded in 2017 by Jeannine Adams. The company operates an e-learning platform that delivers self-paced courses, instructor-led workshops, and structured career-services programs to four distinct customer groups: individual working professionals, corporate clients seeking workforce upskilling, government organizations running workforce readiness and economic development programs, and insurance-claimant populations recovering from occupational injuries who require return-to-work support.

The product portfolio is organized into three core service lines: Vocational Rehabilitation (industry-leading assessments and training for injured workers), Career Services (four sub-programs branded ReTrain, ReThink, ReNew, and ReClaim covering resume/interview prep, online presence, workplace acclimation, and career reclamation), and Corporate Training (e-learning, interactive workshops, compliance training, and Custom Training Solutions). Notable technical features include a 1-minute personalized course-matching quiz and personality-based instructor matching derived from a clinical learning-style assessment. The company is SOC 2 Type 1 certified (audited by Prescient Assurance) and operates an Alumni Network that provides lifelong course updates, career-services access, and a forthcoming AI-powered resume tool.

ReTrain Canada generates revenue through two primary streams: negotiated corporate training contracts with governments, insurance companies, and enterprises (professional-services model), and direct individual course enrollment via the website (one-time-license model). Distribution is multi-channel — enterprise field sales, self-serve website enrollment, and community-led mentor recruitment — and the firm is embedded as an approved training provider under four provincial Canada Job Grant programs (Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan), which enable employer reimbursement of up to 100% of training cost. Operating geographies include Canada, USA, and Nigeria.
