Thank You to the G. Murray and Edna Forbes Foundation at the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation

Work Prep is thrilled to announce the receipt of $19,000 from the G. Murray and Edna Forbes Foundation at the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation.    The G. Murray and Edna Forbes Foundation Fund at the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation is a public foundation serving the people of South Saskatchewan.  The SSCF builds permanently endowed charitable funds for the changing need and opportunities of the community and provides grants to eligible charitable organizations and qualified donees in Animal Welfare, Arts and Culture, Community Development, Education and Scholarships, Environment, Health, Social Services, Spiritual, and sports and Recreation sectors.”

This money will be used to enhance our service delivery to job seekers by adding laptops with access to internet, online e-learning, and assessments as well as Microsoft Office software to support job seekers while attending appointments with their career practitioners.  Each computer will support online learning, skill development and the completion of self-marketing tools to support employment action plans.  In COVID times, this will provide a safe service delivery platform for job seekers to increase their digital skills, engage in services and access virtual employment and educational opportunities.
