The
YWCA Toronto, long a provider of job and life skills training and assistance to women, has
announced the opening of two new employment programs in Toronto that will offer "one-stop shopping" for services for the unemployed.
Eva Pakyam, manger of employment programs with the YWCA Toronto, says that a minimum of 1,400 women per year are expected to be served by the programs, which will work one-on-one with women to address their needs, from career assessment to childcare to job readiness and search skills, and will create an individualized program to "finding sustainable employment opportunities."
The programs being launched are funded through the province of Ontario's Employment Ontario initiative that will fund programs across the province.
Anyone interested in finding out more about the programs should call 416-269-0090.
