Transition to Employment Services (TES) will be provided in Camrose-Wetaskiwin. It is expected that the TES Project will have 120 intakes. All participants will be closest to the labour market with EI eligibility, and unemployed or marginally employed adult Albertans who are experiencing barriers to employment and job retention. A minimum of 80% of the participants must meet EI Eligibility requirements.
TES is designed to provide comprehensive and individualized services that enable participants to acquire workplace and occupation related skills to re-enter the workforce as quickly as possible. TES components will include: Direct Employment Placement and Supports and Job Matching. All Clients will receive overall services that include computer literacy, job search techniques, interview skills, resume writing, assessing skill gaps, understanding transferable skills, identifying the hidden job market, researching new sectors, generating employment leads, and direct placement.
Transition to Employment participants may also be approved for up to $2500 maximum for Supplemental and $500 Job Readiness Support. Supplemental training is short-term training that occurs off-site, is delivered by a school or training organization and is a predetermined criterion for employment. Some examples of supplemental training are; safety tickets, computer / software training, and short-term certifications. Job Readiness may also cover costs for necessary PPE or equipment to enable the participant to begin employment.
