We have a broad range of partners who work to create a better labour market situation and workforce for the region.
Ontario is expanding the province’s new employment services to help more people who can and are able to work find better jobs and earn bigger pay cheques for themselves and their families. The improved system will help thousands of unemployed people in London, Windsor-Sarnia, Kitchener-Waterloo-Barrie, Durham, and Ottawa find rewarding jobs close to home.
