Employment planning

While you’re receiving income assistance, you may need to have an employability plan. This plan outlines your employment obligations. It can help you become ready for employment and more connected to your community.

Your employability plan is:

• A personalized plan that lists the steps you can take to find a job
• Based on your individual strengths, skills, abilities and circumstances
• Developed by or with ministry staff
• Reviewed and updated by you and ministry staff

If you are a single parent, you may also be eligible for extra support and training. Find out more about the Single Parent Employment Initiative.

The employability plan is vital to helping you find and keep a job. Your assistance may be affected if you do not carry out the employment planning activities.
