This
program is funded by the Government of Ontario and is
designed to assist individuals in obtaining and maintaining
employment. We offer supportive services to the job
seeker by means of employment counselling, safety certification,
workshops and ongoing support. As an incentive to employers
to train eligible job seekers, we can provide a partial
wage subsidy. Our Job Developers work closely with the
apprenticeship branch to ensure a smooth transition
to apprenticeship training when applicable.
