I t is clear that Canadians need more jobs and businesses want to develop and expand. That's why the Government of Canada, in cooperation cooperation with the provinces, territories and the private 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. ACOMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY TO CREATE SKILLED AND LASTING EMPLOYMENT /; f ' loday's highly competitive and rapidly J. 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 flexible and comprehensive set of programs to bring together the needs of workers and employers and open up new working working opportunities through training and on-the-job experience. The Strategy is composed of six programs which are aimed at very specific specific and real difficulties difficulties being" experienced by people looking for work in communities all over Canada.The programs assist people who have been displaced by technological changes in the workplace, young people looking for their first job, women reentering reentering the workforce, and individuals experiencing long-term unemployment.Peoplewho are having a hard time getting getting a suitable job will find programs in the Strategy to aid them in gaining skills which will make them more employable now and in the future. .SKILL INVESTMENT To prepare and train Canadians for future jobs and to guard against their skills becoming becoming obsolete due to technological change, the Skill Investment program will give employers and employees the chance to adapt to changing changing conditions which can threaten job security.The program encourages employers and employees to work together to develop training programs for their mutual benefit. The program is flexible enough to meet the needs of individual employees, Training courses may be taken on the job or at any training institution, JOB ENTRY The first job after school or after a long absence from the workforce, is often the hardest to get. Job Entry will make it easier for young people to move from school to work and for women 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 can't get a job." Practical training will be provided provided for up to one year through government support to individuals, employers and community community groups. It will give individuals a solid base of marketable skills, by providing providing a combination of training 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 unemployment, 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 employers employers develop skilled labour to increase productivity productivity and competitiveness,To encourage employers to train Canadian workers in skills for which there are shortages, training assistance assistance programs have been created, The Government of Canada will cover many of the employer's direct costs for training in job categories in which work is available, but for which there are currently too few skilled Canadians. INNOVATIONS The Innovations program looks to the future of the Canadian workplace. It will act as a catalyst to tap the creative resources of the Canadian people and stimulate new initiatives initiatives for revitalizing Canada's labour market. Innovations provides financial assistance to individuals individuals and groups who have pilot and demonstration projects which test new solutions solutions to labour market problems. There are no predetermined predetermined limits on projects, and proposals may address regional concerns, or issues which are national in scope. COMMUNITY FUTURES The Community Futures program will be developed to better understand, anticipate and respond to the impact of social and technological change in communities. The program will address the real and pressing needs of communities by becoming involved in initiatives proposed from within the community itself. The particular strengths I of a community can be the basis of its economic economic resilience, and the Community Futures program will build on these strengths by pro-1 viding timely support and resources, For detailed literature either send in the coupon below, visit your local Canada Employment Centre, or call 1 OAA Q 0*7 C\/\ 1 ft during business hours, Jl OvV"vO/~ VU-Lx/ , THE CANADIAN JOBS STRATEGY WORKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE.
