Cultivating True Livelihood

Denise Bissonnette has developed a comprehensive, fresh and powerful new approach to delivering employment services for work-seekers!

Cultivating True Livelihood (CTL) is a thorough program curriculum based on the principles of "Activity-Based Placement". Simply-stated, the Activity-Based Placement approach is one that supports work-seekers to effectively conduct their own effective work search. It engages participants in a series of assignments - concrete activities designed to empower them with critical skills, information, knowledge and experiences.

You can now watch the videos of Denise giving great descriptions of the complete CTL program. Be sure to watch all nine videos because you don't want to miss a thing!
