Program participants are primarily youth, ages 15 to 24, with minimal work experience and Grade 12 education or less. Fanshawe College graduates are eligible but are not often found in the Job Connect database because participants must be unemployed at the time of entry. Career Services is a partner in the delivery of Job Connect with Youth Opportunities Unlimited and the London Unemployment Help Centre. From their downtown London office, Fanshawe Job Developers assist clients in their job search and employers in finding suitable workers.
Some employers receive a wage subsidy to offset training costs.
