What needs to be included in a community-based and responsive employment Support Services Model?
The Government of Ontario is changing Employment Ontario programs provided by agencies across the province.
The changes will be effective in the fall of 2010.

The forum will be an opportunity for us to provide an overview of the proposed new employment support services model and how the new model meets the needs of the community.
