Getting bac

by’ Premier Bill
> Vander Zalm
Quietly, and without a

great deal ‘of. fanfare,

much “hard work’s being
done to assist British Col:

umbians to get off income _

assistance and back into
the work force.

An example is the as-
sessment and referral pro-
gram launched: in Kam-

loops and Surrey-White <

Rock which proved so suc-

-cessful ‘that: it’s: being. ex.”

panded ‘into the Greater
“Vancouver area,

completely voluntary .— is

. designed to develop better

information on: the.capa-

‘bility and employability of
-income assistance recip-
‘ients. And indication of
just how well. it’s been

‘received is the fact more

than 1,300° assessments

had been carried out by

- mid-April.

ed 90 days and put on pro- -
bation for three months

force for some. time, step
one involves a comprehen-
sive evaluation process for
each of the individuals.

. The reason for the eval-
uation is to assist the par-

ticipants in getting a han-.

dle. on their. -skills, ex-
perience, and as a result,
to identify the kinds of
employment and income
opportunities that .are
open to them.

The same information,

of course, is critical to —
potential employers who.

in-

are able to match

dividuals against the job .
‘opportunities © that — they "

have available.

- With this kind of hard
information on file, a start.

can be made on referring

the job-ready candidates
‘to specific employers and

also to provide training

_for those who need their. -
skills. upgraded before

In: the: meantime, the.
people on ‘income assis- —
tance and. employers say -
the prograin is proving ex- |
. tremely, valuable.

“One single parent, on

‘income assistance for. six
years while supporting a

teenage son, won a quick

five days of registering to
take part in the program.
