Designing Solutions:

Skills + Employment Preparation = Meaningful Work

LLSC’s “Skills + Employment Preparation = Meaningful Work,” (applied for in partnership with London Regional Employment Services,) aims to establish a user-focused, integrated client pathway between LBS and employment services. To do that, we will be analyzing current service structures, mapping client pathways, and enhancing referral efficiency. A co-design approach will ensure input from job seekers, employment service providers, social assistance offices, and LBS networks. By streamlining service navigation and improving referral processes, this project will enhance job seekers' ability to access skill-building programs and achieve meaningful employment.

The Designing Solutions Program supports organizations in transforming project ideas from concept to a pilot-ready solution through a structured design sprint. Organizations will engage in a cohort-based learning experience, applying design-thinking principles to identify, develop, and validate solutions with stakeholders. By the end of the program, participants will have a stakeholder-validated solution ready for piloting, along with key insights and a final presentation summarizing their process.
