The program has three service components that are tailored to meet individual needs:
- The Information and Resource Service (IRS) provides information on careers and occupations, the local labour market, training opportunities and job search strategies. There is information on apprenticeship training and resources for Internationally Trained Individuals seeking employment commensurate with their skills.
- Employment Planning and Preparation (EPP) helps people to clarify their employment needs, establish short- and long-term goals, develop an action plan, and search for a job.
- Job Development and Placement Support (JDPS) helps people develop their skills and gain on-the-job work experience.
Who can participate?
- Information and Resource Service: Anyone seeking employment and/or training can access this walk-in community resource.
