AWIC Sponsorship Fund

Additional Resources
Employment Ontario
Free employer and employment services are available from Employment Ontario through the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). Employment Ontario provides a wide range of services for employers, Human Resources (HR) professionals and job-seekers.
Job Bank
There are various websites available to help job-seekers and employers. However, for employers, posting a vacant position can be costly. Free service is available through the Job Bank, which is sponsored by the Government of Canada. As an employer, you can advertise your job vacancy at no cost, review profiles of job-seekers matching your requirements and increase the visibility of your company.
Statistics
Serving Canada with high-quality statistical information that matters. Statistics Canada produces statistics that help Canadians better understand their country—its population, resources, economy, society and culture.
Literacy and Basic Skills
Various skills such as reading, writing, math and computer proficiency are essential for employment and to fully participate in society. Employment Ontario offers programs to assist with education, skills training and work. Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) programs help adults reach their goals by developing and/or strengthening some of these skills.
