EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE 

Once you have been granted Ontario Works you will 

meet with an Employment Worker to assess your 

employability. The purpose of this meeting is to develop 

an action plan which outlines a strategy to determine 

your short term and long term goals. A Participation 

Agreement will be completed to formalize the action 

plan. It is flexible and individualized based on your 

needs. As your circumstances change, so can your 

Participation Agreement. 

Following the terms of the Participation Agreement is a 

requirement for receiving ongoing financial assistance. 

DEFERRAL OF EMPLOYMENT ACTIVITIES 

In some instances mandatory participation in employment programs may 

be temporarily deferred. This occurs if you are: 

• a sole support parent with at least one child not yet in 

school 

• unemployable for medical reasons 

• a caregiver of a family member who requires daily 

physical assistance on an ongoing basis due to disability or 

illness 

• 65 yrs of age or older 

Deferrals do have time limits and are reviewed on a regular basis. 

Depending on the reason for the deferral you may be required to 

submit supporting documentation to your Employment Worker. If you are 

deferred, you can still choose to take part in employment programs. 


10 


LITERACY ASSESSMENT 

An Ontario Works applicant who has not completed grade 12 will be required 

to complete a short literacy questionnaire. The Employment Worker will use 

this as a tool to help select appropriate participation activities, and develop 

short and long term employment plans. 

Test results are kept private and do not influence eligibility for assistance. 

You will not be required to complete the test if you have been diagnosed as 

a person with a learning disability. Literacy training resources and contact 

information are listed in this booklet. 

COMMUNITY PLACEMENT 

A Community Placement is a great opportunity to try out a specific type of 

employment that you are considering. A volunteer placement at a non-profit 

agency provides an excellent opportunity to obtain hands on job experience 

which will enhance your résumé and increase the likelihood of achieving 

your employment goals. 

Contact your Employment Worker to discuss a referral to the Community 

Placement Worker for assistance with finding a suitable community 

placement opportunity. 

EMPLOYMENT PLACEMENT 

If you have a current marketable résumé, a desire to work education and 

skills to match identified job objectives, then you’ll be able to access our 

Employment Placement Program. Following the appointment with your 

Employment Worker you will be referred to the Employment Specialist. 

The Employment specialist will provide one to one support, or as part of a 

group to explore job searching strategies, assist you with self marketing 

skills to local employers. 


11 


SELF EMPLOYMENT 

Learn how to build a solid business plan and start building a successful 

small business as a means of becoming financially independent. Ontario 

Works recognizes self-employment activity as a valuable strategy to 

become financially independent. Participants who choose to participate in 

self-employment activities are referred to Guelph Business Enterprise 

Centre Inc. to assess the viability of their business idea and develop a 

business plan. 

LEARNING EARNING AND PARENTING PROGRAM (LEAP) 

Are you a parent under the age of 25 without your High School Diploma and 

involved in the Ontario Works program? 

We can help you LEAP over 

the obstacles to succeed. 

We want to help you get your Grade 12 diploma. 

Let us help you prepare for the job market and enhance your parenting 

skills. 

Participation expenses and a bursary for further education are available. 

For more information contact the LEAP Caseworker 

at 837-2670 extension 3780. 


12 


EMPLOYMENT TRAINING AND WORKSHOPS 

Depending on your employment history, future goals and Participation 

Agreement, you may benefit from one or more of the following 

workshops. These are offered regularly at our Employment Resource 

Centre. Get more information from your Employment Worker.

13 


Addiction Services Program 

The Addiction Service Program assists individuals who identify substance 

use or addictive behavior as a barrier to their successful participation in 

employment-related activities. This program provides an opportunity for 

individuals to explore treatment options and begin taking steps towards a 

more positive and healthy lifestyle. Alternatively, individuals may wish to 

participate in the addictions services program in an effort to maintain and 

expand upon treatment gains after completion of a residential addiction 

treatment program. Motivation and commitment to making positive 

change are essential in order to benefit from the addiction services 

program. Participants are expected to take an active role in determining 

and implementing their treatment plan, while an addiction services worker 

will provide intensive case management and appropriate community 

referrals throughout the process. 

Mental Health Life Skills Program 

The Mental Health Life Skills Program assists people who experience 

barriers to employment as a result of mental health needs. The Mental 

Health Life Skills Worker provides referrals to community agencies and 

supports that aim to meet these needs. Treatment and counselling are 

supported as alternative employment activities in order to facilitate mental 

health recovery and work readiness. People in this program are active 

participants in generating and implementing their personalized recovery 

plan.

ONTARIO WORKS AND CHILD CARE 

Child Care may be available to help you while you complete your Ontario 

Works employment related activities. 

Licensed child care is a programme where care and learning happens in a 

group setting. The programme is licensed under the Day Nurseries Act to 

make sure certain standards are met. 

Licensed Child Care Centres include Child Care centres, nursery schools, 

and before and after school child care. The hours of care and ages of 

children vary from centre to centre, but most are open Monday to Friday, 

during day-time hours. You can only receive subsidy at centres that have 

an agreement with the County as these programmes have met our quality 

standards. 

Licensed Private Home Child Care happens in a home setting by providers 

who are screened and monitored to make sure they meet the standards of 

the Day Nurseries Act. Providers may offer flexible hours such as evenings, 

weekends or overnight care. The Child Care Subsidy Worker will send a 

request to a Home Child Care Consultant who will try to match you with an 

available provider. 

Paying for Licensed Child Care 

If you wish to use licensed child care your Employment Worker will send a 

referral to Child Care Services. An appointment will then be made for you to 

meet with a Child Care Subsidy Worker to arrange subsidy for your child 

care. Your licensed private home child care provider or child care centre will 

be paid directly by Child Care Services. You will receive a list of centres and 

information about choosing quality child care. You may also get a list by 

calling 837-3620 or 1-800-265-7294 ext. 3090, or from our website 

www.wellington.ca. 

Unlicensed or Informal Child Care is care by a relative, friend, neighbour 

or a private caregiver. Unlicensed caregivers are not monitored and do not 

have to follow the requirements of the Day Nurseries Act. Unlicensed caregivers 

are allowed to care for a maximum of 5 children at one time. Ask your 

Employment Worker about paying for this type of care.

JOB SEARCH TIPS 

Here are some handy tips to keep in mind when looking for employment. 

Networking 

• Tell everyoneyou know that you are looking for work - 

friends, relatives, neighbours, former co-workers and 

employers, etc.. These people may know of job leads. 

• Visit job fairs. Go dressed for an interview and bring copies of 

your résumé. 

• Register with personnel agencies. 

Job Searching 

• Use all available resources. The County of Wellington has a 

resource centre which has free services including books on job 

hunting, fax and Internet use, newspapers and job postings. 

• Look beyond newspapers. Try community bulletin boards at 

your children’s school, the local community college, or your 

place of worship. 

• Go online. Many job opportunities are listed on the Internet. 

• Research companies you are interested in, even if they are not 

hiring. Send them your résumé and let them know you are 

looking. 

• Volunteer your time. If you find you lack the experience needed 

for the jobs you are looking for, learn new skills by volunteering 

in theCommunity Placement Program. 


18 


Interviews 

• Research the company and the position. 

• Dress appropriately for the position. 

• Stay calm, listen carefully and ask questions. This shows how 

interested you are in the position and the company. 

• Body language says a lot. Sit up, make eye contact, and offer a 

firm handshake before and after the interview. 

• Send the interviewer a thank-you note afterwards to thank them 

for their time and to tell them again why you are interested in 

the position. 

Application Forms 

• Print neatly. If the application can’t be read, you won’t be 

considered for the job. 

• Fill in every box. This shows that you have understood the 

directions. If you cannot answer a question, put a line through it 

or answer “N/A” for “not applicable” so the employer knows 

you are not ignoring the question. 

• Attach a current résumé to your application wherever possible. 

• If you find the application difficult to fill in, bring it home and 

get some help, then return it immediately to the employer. 

Most importantly - stay motivated! 

• Looking for a job can take time and commitment. Seek support 

from your friends and family, and consider joining a job club to 

help you stay motivated.
