Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb announced last week that the board would be the recipient of $228,000 from the federal government's Skills Link program. According to a release from Lobb's office, "Skill Link helps youth facing barriers to employment - including youth are single parents, youth with disabilities, young new Canadians and youth in rural and remote areas - to gain the experience needed to find a job or the confidence to return to school." AMDSB's Reach for Success program is aimed at teens and young people in Huron County between the ages of 15 and 30, who are out of school and in need of assistance to gain workplace skills and experience. Susan McKee, administra- tor of lifelong learning pro- grams with AMDSB said there are two parts to the program; four weeks of workshops at The Centre for Employment and Learning in Clinton and eights weeks of employment with local employers through the county. Participants in the program are paid the equivalent of pro- vincial minimum wage for both portions of the program. Employers receive wage imbursement for participating in the program. We know that our youth are leaving the community and the rate of unemployment in the county is less than 4%. We also know there's a mismatch between the skills of many jobseekers and skills required for local employers. The Reach for Success program provides an opportunity for youth to develop the employ- ability skills that employers are looking for in the work- place" she said. "The program also explores the essential skills that are required for suc- cess in specific jobs. The beauty of the program is the fact the youth have an oppor- tunity to apply the skills in an actual work environment for eight weeks. The youth have a chance to learn from local employers and employers have a chance to work with potential employers"" Lobb said the program takes on "leave no one behind" concept and allows people to get second chances. He said it could also lead to savings for taxpayers because it can reduce the number of people on Ontario Works. The next sessions of the Reach for Success program are June 30 and September 22. Those interested in the pro- gram can contact Renee Chauvin at 519-482-1700 or e-mail their resume to rene- chau@fc.amdsb.ca.
