Under the Ontario Works Act, 1997 and Regulations, as a condition of employment, every employable applicant or participant must participate in employment assistance activities including:
- single people;
- couples with or without children;
- sole support parents;
- dependent adults 18 year of age or older
After receiving your initial benefits, you will be required to attend an information session prior to meeting with a Case Manager to develop an effective employment plan. These participation agreements (PA) are reviewed regularly and tailored to your needs. Activities include:
- community placement;
- employment placement and job skills training;
- basic education (completion of a high school diploma).
