Employers for the most part still work under a certain stigma. We need to continue to hold events like the one we did, the inspiring partnerships event, where we had 289 employers attend. Since then we've gotten marvellous feedback. They want us to help them to change their hiring processes to be more inclusive. We need to hold similar events in communities everywhere; in fact, create a road show where you would go from community to community bringing employers together and giving them inspiration. We need to open the conversation with them.
The one area I want to wrap up with is program administration. We use a lot of the Service Canada programs. The most difficult part of administration is the short duration of contracts and having to renew every year or every six months. The contract periods never coincide with our year end or with our staff contracting periods. Sometimes we have 42 weeks; sometimes we have 38 weeks. There's always a gap between finishing one project and getting renewed for another project. It's hard to retain experienced staff.
