The Impact of Federal Funding Changes on Training and Employment Services: Report to Be Released

Join ACTEW on Wednesday, April 2, as the Community Social Planning Council of Toronto hosts the release of a collaborative report analyzing the effects of 2004 changes to the HRSDC Call for Proposals process.

The report documents the costs of the funding change to organizations, government, and clients, and provides recommendations for improving the funding relationship between government and non-profit organizations. The sudden change threatened the existence of a number of employment and training organizations and interrupted service for many clients.

The report was developed by ACTEW in collaboration with the Community Social Planning Council of Toronto, ONESTEP (Ontario Network of Employment and Skills Training Programs), OCASI (Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants), OAYEC (Ontario Association of Youth Employment Centres) and TNC (Toronto Neighbourhood Centres), with funding support from the United Way of Greater Toronto Social Research Initiative.

The event will take place in Toronto. To attend, please contact Mary at 416-351-0095 x 251 or mmary@cspc.toronto.on.ca. For more information, contact Alissa Von Bargen, Community Social Planning Council of Toronto Communications Officer at 416-351-0095 x 214, or avonbargen@cspc.toronto.on.ca.
