People with disabilities will get help preparing for jobs as a result of the Government of Canada’s support for Kopar Administration Ltd. Dick Harris, Member of Parliament for Cariboo–Prince George, made the announcement on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.
“In today’s environment, it is more important than ever that all Canadians have the skills they need to participate and succeed in the job market,” said Harris. “By supporting this project, our government is helping Canadians with disabilities maximize their potential and independence.”
Kopar Administration Ltd. will receive $392,409 under the Community Coordinator component of the Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities. This project will help 45 people with disabilities gain the skills they need to enter the labor market.
The federal government is working with the provinces and territories, community organizations and other stakeholders to provide Canadians with the training, skills and opportunities they need to get jobs and contribute to the their communities.
The Opportunities Fund helps support an array of activities, such as increasing employability skills, providing work experience, and preparing individuals for self-employment. The Government of Canada said it is committed to breaking down barriers that prevent Canadians with disabilities from reaching their full potential with a wide range of effective policies, programs, and services.
The Fund is part of the Government of Canada’s strategy to create the best educated, most skilled and most flexible workforce in the world. (workersxzcompxzkit)
The Government underscored its commitment to this strategy in Canada’s Economic Action Plan. A key component of the Plan is to create more and better opportunities for Canadian workers through skills development.
