The back-to-work community partnership initiative is a $10-million program allocating money to 25 groups across the province to provide skills training and connections to in-demand job areas. Labour Minister Lena Metlege Diab said she expects the programs, which run for 12-18 months, will help upwards of 1,000 people.
