The Centre for Workforce Development held two free identification and employment clinics this week.
A total of 54 people were helped thanks to clinics in Madoc and Bancroft.
The popular events are a chance for people to get assistance with SIN cards, various government ID, and learn more about employment agencies.
“Workforce development is about more than connecting someone with a job. People need access to the basic supports and services that allow them to participate in the workforce. These clinics bring those supports together and help people take the next step forward. Participants received assistance with government identification, employment and job search services, training opportunities, transportation, housing and income supports, physical and mental healthcare, referrals and connections to local community programs. These clinics demonstrate the tangible impact of bringing community partners together to remove barriers, connect people with opportunities and help individuals take meaningful steps toward workforce participation and greater independence,”said CEO Sandi Ramsay, in a provided statement.
A variety of partner agencies help make the clinics happen.
