Targeted Initiative for Older Workers offers unique training opportunity

(March 5, 2013) - Employment Solutions is once again delivering the Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW) program, a special initiative funded by Employment Ontario and the Government of Canada, designed to help unemployed older workers increase their ability to find and keep a job in the local economy.

In addition to providing assistance with job search activities, resume preparation and interview skills, participants in the TIOW program this spring may have a unique opportunity to gain training and work placement experience in the golf course industry, just in time for the upcoming golf season.

Selected participants will receive training to work in a variety of positions central to the operation of a golf course and will benefit from work placement experience on several local courses. 

This unique program is being offered in response to a need identified by local employers for trained golf course employees this upcoming season.

In addition to employment opportunities on local golf courses, other employment options may be available for TIOW program participants.

Older workers participating in the TIOW program will find it to be a great opportunity to upgrade their skills and help increase their ability in obtaining employment in the current labour market.

To qualify for the TIOW program and this exciting training opportunity, individuals must be between 50 and 64 years old, unemployed (retired, laid off) and be looking for part time or full time work.

Interested applicants can contact Debi MacKay at Employment Solutions, 705-945-0705, ext. 4273
   
This Employment Ontario program is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
