Job Matching
The Job Matching program bridges the gap between the employer and job seeker. An Employment Services Coordinator will help an employer identify their human resource skill requirements of a position and match the position/workplace needs to a qualified job seeker’s skills, interests, and capabilities. Based on the needs of the workplace, an Employment Service Coordinator can develop an on-the-job training plan and assist in building a successful working relationship.
Job Placement
To participate in a work placement, employers must:
- Be licensed to operate in Ontario
- Provide employment in Ontario
- Have appropriate workplace safety and insurance coverage and adequate third party general liability insurance coverage
Job Incentives
Employers may be eligible to receive financial incentives that support on-the-job training and work experience opportunities for participants. Incentive levels do vary and are based on the skill level and length of training required. Incentives for sponsored apprenticeship opportunities are also available to employers. An Employment Service Coordinator will guide you through the process of accessing available funding in programs such as the Ontario Job Creation Partnership and the various Youth Job Strategy Programs To learn more about these services, contact our office today.
