B.C. is expanding employment services provided by WorkBC centres to offer more choice and tailored support to meet people's individual needs, helping more B.C. job seekers get jobs.
WorkBC helps more than 100,000 people each year through 102 centres, offering career planning, skills training, job-search support and financial assistance.
As the labour market changes, people’s needs and expectations for how they access provincial employment services are evolving.
The new model has three coordinating service options: self-directed, in-office services and employment-readiness outreach.
It aims to meet people where they are on their employment journey, offering services and support that will be most effective for them.
The Province is inviting input on this new model from job seekers, employers, service providers and community members.
Feedback, submitted through an online survey or during a live session, will help build a more timely, inclusive and person-centered system.
The Province says improving employment services is part of its 2024 Poverty Reduction Strategy goal of enhancing programs for all, including those facing multiple and complex barriers.
The ministry’s goal is to build a stronger WorkBC system that’s flexible, inclusive and supports a range of needs, pathways and employment goals.
To learn more, visit Government of British Columbia, or take the survey until July 31st.
