About INEO

 

Company History

INEO Employment Counselling Inc (DBA: INEO Employment Services) was founded in November 1998 and Incorporated in February 1999, by Mike Roberts and Terry Deakin. INEO was created to facilitate a Services Canada pilot project, the Job Coach/Mentor Program. The pilot project ended in July 2000 at which time Mike Roberts sold his share of the company to Terry who remains the sole shareholder. Terry took on a subcontract with West Coast Group International Consultants Inc. in July 2000 and has evolved the business steadily since then.

The name INEO is a Latin word that means “new beginnings“, and the heron (our logo) in the First Nation’s culture symbolizes “taking small steps to reach a goal.”
