Program Details

1. The program is 4 days
   a week so that the participants can access services at WorkBC centres one
   day/week, including obtaining STOC training as needed before the end of
   the program (such as FoodSafe, Serving It Right, etc.)

2. The program gives
   WorkBC clients time to develop the essential skills they need, and
   provides opportunities for PARQ hiring managers to know and interact with
   the program participants prior to the formal hiring phase.

3. PARQ hiring managers
   will work with the VCC training team to:

·         Conduct in-class training sessions whereby they can interact with and
observe the performance and learning capacity of the program participants in a
supported environment.

·         Build a rapport with the participants to facilitate future engagement,
especially into the hiring phase.

·         Arrange for the participants to visit PARQ and get a better sense of the
work environment before deciding what entry-level positions they would apply
for, which should match their skill sets.

·         Set up the formal hiring phase (at VCC or PARQ) with dedicated support
from the HR liaison from PARQ.

4. The program
   participants will stay with VCC throughout the hiring phase (till the end
   of the 6-week period). The VCC team will facilitate the job applications
   and ensure that the participants are ready for interviews. We will follow
   up with PARQ about the hiring outcomes. During this time, the VCC team
   will communicate closely with the participants’ case managers to seek
   further input and provide updates, including hiring outcomes.
