The federal government and the Manitoba provincial government have announced funding for an employment project that will provide youth and immigrants in Manitoba with job-preparation training and work experience.
"Our government is taking steps to ensure immigrants have the tools they need to succeed, such as education, employment training, and career development. We recognize the importance of promoting skills development to ensure Manitobans have an opportunity to share in all economic opportunities," said Peter Bjornson, Manitoba's Minister of Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade.
The federal and provincial governments are providing funding for Victor Mager Parent Association, a non-profit, community-based organization, that provides employment assistance services to youth and adults, settlement services for newcomers to Winnipeg, and English language classes.
