GOOD NEWS FOR JOB SEEKERS!
Effective August 1st 2010, Employment Ontario is introducing a new and enhanced ‘Employment Service Delivery Model’. Ten agencies, all of whom have been offering employment services for many years, will deliver a complete range of employment services in both official languages.



The new approach will make it easier for you to find and access employment services, based on your interests and needs, all at one location.



In addition to better accessibility, the new ‘one-stop shop’ model is customer centered and is an integrated employment service for job seekers and employers seeking to hire.





Here’s what you can expect to find at Employment Ontario sites:

• Experienced employment consultants

• Information on the local labour market

• Career planning and job search strategies

• Education and training opportunities

• Resource room and access to computers

• Workshops and more



In Ottawa centre, professionals at the St. Lawrence Employment Services office can help you reach your employment goals. We look forward to seeing you at: 71 Bank Street, 5th floor, Tel: 613-232-0022.
