Ontario Builds Skilled Workforce with Strengthened Employment Services

Province moves forward with easy to use, localized employment services to create jobs

Ontario’s government is putting people first by improving employment services with a new system that focuses on the needs of local communities, workers and employers to help Ontarians get good, quality jobs. These improvements will help job seekers find and keep good jobs and assist employers in recruiting the skilled workers they need to build the skilled workforce that keeps Ontario open for business and open for jobs.

Beginning Fall 2019, the new employment services model will launch in three diverse urban and rural communities: Region of Peel, Hamilton-Niagara and Muskoka-Kawarthas. Employment services across the rest of the province will move to the new system starting in 2022.
