That's an excellent question.
Yes, something simple could be done: expand the meaning of the word "training". It is limited to something that leads to a diploma. That limits access to this envelope, which means that an application by a member of the military, for example, who wants access to the services we offer is going to fall through the cracks, because it is an employability preparedness program.
We have been in talks for two years now to find out how that can fit into the right slot. We are recognized by Revenu Québec as an educational institution that leads to achieving learning outcomes that enable the person to return to the labour market. Our one-year program does offer coaching, but, technically, it extends over 13 months. There are ten five-hour meetings.
At first, we talk about the identity aspect: who are they, beyond the uniform?
That enables the person to develop their psychosocial skills, for conversation and interpersonal relationships, whether with family or with other employees. Next comes the step where they have to ask themself questions; now that they are demobilized and have a bit of perspective, how can they get involved in something new? What are they going to say yes to, and why? What makes them feel valued for themself?
