Who Do We Serve?
Fresh Start is designed to empower individuals and assist with developing personal goals, as well as the development of strategies to move forward. The program is specifically targeted to people receiving Ontario Works (OW) benefits, and anyone experiencing significant barriers to employment.
How Do We Help?
Planned for Fresh Start customers are a set of needs driven workshops. Each workshop will be tailored to meet the needs of a group, or conducted individually as required. Each customer in the Fresh Start program will be assigned a Coach/Employment Consultant who will provide, on- going, one on one support.
