• Job Search Counselling and Supports (i.e. job search, interview skills, resume writing) - These types of supports may be delivered either individually or in group sessions.
  

• Short-term Training - Where programs are not eligible for funding by Student Aid, individuals may obtain funding to pay for short-term training in an area linked to potential employment.
  

• Other Supports - Other supports identified in the employment plan may be available to assist with employment.
