Employment is the most basic link between social and economic development.
People in our communities working with social development impact on jobs and economic growth. Therefore, it is crucial that the social development sector participate in The Renewal Strategy for Jobs and Growth forums as they travel throughout the province. Government acknowledges that the integration of economic and social development is necessary to secure a prosperous future for the province. This development must take place at a community level. The implementation process of the Strategic Social Plan is taking place in central Newfoundland and work is ongoing to bring the plan to two other regions of the province this fall.
