The Department of Social Services has implemented an Employment Opportunities Program, which is designed to help social-assistance recipients to make the transition from dependency towards self-sufficiency. The program responds to the employment and training needs of recipients by utilizing assessment/counselling career planning, upgrading academic skills, developing training, purchasing training seats and enacting employment placements. The principal change since January 1, 1986, has been a move away from short-term job creation projects to a focus on human resource development with respect to social services clients.

CONT

Le ministère des Services sociaux a mis en œuvre le Programme des possibilités d'emploi, destiné à aider les assistés sociaux à faire la transition vers l'autosuffisance. Ce programme répond aux besoins en emploi et en formation des assistés sociaux en offrant des services d'évaluation et de counselling en planification de carrière, en élaborant des séances de formation et de rattrapage scolaire, en achetant des cours de formation et en offrant des services de placement. La principale modification survenue depuis le 1er janvier 1986 est l'abandon de projets de création d'emplois à court terme pour le développement des ressources humaines chez les assistés sociaux.
