Community Partnerships

Community agencies are funded to deliver supports and initiatives to help individuals to prepare for, attain and maintain employment, and make the transition to a new job. A community agency is:
 
• incorporated within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador
• working with groups such as: youth, women, persons with disabilities or older workers, and
• providing enhanced employment, career and workplace services to support labour force participation.
 
Community agencies can avail of funding to design and deliver programs and services that:
 
• address the needs of individuals
• respond to identified labour market needs within the mandate of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour
• address gaps in current services, and • demonstrate a cost-effective approach.
 
The intended outcome of the Community Partnerships Program is to increase self-reliance for individuals, through successful attachment to employment, education or training.
