WORKING OPPORTUNITIES _ FOR PEOPLE. t is clear that Canadians need more jobs and businesses want to develop and expand. That's why the Government of Canada, in co- operation with the provinces, territories and the ptivate sector, has initiated a comprehensive new Canadian Jobs Strategy. ’ The Jobs Strategy is a fundamental change in ; the way we invest in our most important resource - the people of Canada. The built-in incentives of the strategy encourage employers to develop new jobs and establish training programs which will lead to skilled and lasting employment. A.COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY TO. CREATE SKILLED AND LASTING EMPLOYMENT. | | "Pes 's highly competitive and rapidly changing job marketplace has left many Canadians frustrated and unable to find satisfying and lasting employment. At the same time employers are often unable to hire people with the specific skills they need. The new Jobs Strategy now offers a to bring together ing opportunities through training and on-the-job experience. -composed of six; programs which are . aimed at very spe-- cific‘and real dif- ficulties being experienced by people looking for'work in _assist people who have been displaced by entering the workforce, and individuals experiencing long-term unemployment.Peoplewho are having a hard time get- ting a suitable job will find. . programs in the Strategy to aid them in gaining skills whichwillmakethemmore 9 employable now andinthe future. a SKILL INVESTMENT jobs and to guard against their skills becom- ing conditions which can threaten job and employees to work together todevelop training programs for their mutual benefit. ‘|, The program is flexible enough to meet the needs of individual employees.

The program encourages employers JOB ENTRY The first job after school, or after a long absence from the workforce, is often the hardést to get. Job Entry will make it easier ; for young people to move from school to © work and for wemen to re-enter the job market. This program will help break the vicious circle of “No job because you have no. experience and no experience because you" vided for up to one year through government support to individuals, employers and com-_ munity groups. It will give individuals a solid base of “marketable skills, by provid- ing a combination of training 8 | and direct work experience. JOB DEVELOPMENT When some people are out of work for a long time, it is often because the skills they do have are not the skills that are needed out there in the job market. To help Canadians who are experiencing long-term unemiployment, Job Development Projects assist businesses and communities to provide training and practical work experience which will §. build up an individual's - marketable skills and improve opportunities for - lasting employment. SKILL SHORTAGES The Skill Shortages program will help em- - ployers develop skilled labour to increase produc- : tivity and competitiveness. To encourage employers to train Canadian workers in skills ‘for which there are shortages, training assis- tance programs have been created. during business hours, 5 Name. > a a 9 is & Province -- | | | | ’ but for which ‘there are currently too few can't get a job.” Practical training will be pro- — : technological change in communities, For detailed literature either send in the coupon below, visit your local 1-890-387-0610 — — Sees a ee THE CANADIAN JOBS STRATEGY.
