I wouldn't say that regional economic disparity is part of how the programs are developed, but I would say that the programs offered by service provider organizations are particularly sensitive to regional needs and to the needs in local economies. I don't know a single service provider organization that doesn't try to work hard with the local employer community. Whether they're offering services around language training or whether it's more direct employment-related services through settlement provider organizations, they're trying to create a network within a community to make sure that those immigrants who have arrived and who are availing themselves of those services have a good link back into that employer community, and that there's a good sense of testing. Many service provider organizations provide mini job fairs and other matching services with employers.
