This program offers applicants the opportunity to work in casual, term, or permanent employment for a period of time that varies with the employer's needs.
Jobs start at various times throughout the year, depending on the employer's requirements.
Successful applicants will work at a variety of tasks, depending on the position. Recipients who are not currently involved with ESS can contact their caseworker to request a referral. While working in this program, participants earn minimum wage or better, depending on the employer, the position, and the applicant's experience. Those interested in this program should discuss it with an ESS counsellor. Applicants are placed with employers who are able to hire them without a wage subsidy.
