MiCare

The Community Employment Connectors Program provides support to help jobseekers navigate and connect with training, employment and other relevant services, depending on the jobseekers’ needs, interests and priorities. Our support ranges from providing information and basic advice, to making supported introductions, connections or warm referrals to the appropriate service providers.
