Project overview 
Through this project, we are assisting 60 individuals in moving out of poverty, through adult literacy, employment services, and apprenticeship and into a career. This project offers specialized support for three different target populations:
  • Young single males on Ontario Works who are not in education, employed or in training (NEET)
  • Immigrants (men and women) who have less than Grade 12 and who are on Ontario Works, but have been in Canada for 5+ years
  • Persons with disabilities (men and women) on Ontario Works

LLSC, as the lead agency, will be working with several community partners on this project:
The collaborative team assists clients in moving from literacy upgrading through to accessing employment services, and from employment services to accessing an employer for an apprenticeship opportunity. For an overview of the project, please view this webinar
