This week, I dropped by @first_work’s Queen’s Park reception and was pleased to see the incredible work they do providing employment services to young jobseekers in Toronto and the GTA. @achev_ca was also in attendance, an outstanding employment centre in my constituency office…
This past week I sat down with First Work to hear about the important work they do in supporting Ontario's work force. First Work connects youth, at risk individuals, adults and all those in between with jobseekers by reducing barriers and providing support. @first_work
Employment Service Providers have persevered in spite of an operational funding freeze (10+ yrs), though Minister chooses not to admit it. 1/2 @first_work #ONpoli

Utterly perplexing to yet again be at the end of fiscal year 2023/24 with no commitment from the Federal Government to Labour Market Transfer Agreement funding. They are turning their backs on Ontario’s workers! 🧵 1/2
