The program, coordinated by Operation Springboard, aims to assist unemployed Ontarians obtain sustainable employment as well as to bridge the gap between individuals seeking employment and employers with human resource needs. Apprenticeship-focused career exploration, higher skills placements, services for New Canadians and student services are key focuses within our newly expanded Job Connect services programs. A regular workshop schedule is open to all those interested in participating.

Job Connect services include three components:

• Information and Referral Service (IRS)
,
• Employment Preparation Program (EPP)
• Job Development Placement Service (JDPS)

Each component provides an array of services, including job search strategies, workshops and possible job placements. Training incentives are potentially available for employers through the JDPS segment (up to $4000.00 per participant placement) to help cover the practical costs related to training new employees. Training support stipends for participants are available to cover various work-related costs (up to $400.00 per individual).

Our new, fully functional resource centre is now open!. New services for adults, newcomers and the underemployed are available.
