Programs

An Employment Counsellor at our office can assess and refer you to the Department of Advanced Education and Skills for the following programs:

NL Skills Development (NLSD)

The main objective of the NLSD Employment Benefit is to assist unemployed EI eligible participants to obtain skills training that will enable them to prepare for, obtain and maintain employment.
It is also intended to support individuals who lack marketable skills and are able to demonstrate that training is the best option for them to re-enter the workforce.

The main objective of the NLSD Feepayer is to allow eligible participants to collect EI benefits while attending post-secondary training.

NL Job Creation Partnership (NLJCP)

    The main objective of the NLJCP Employment Benefit is to provide EI eligible participants with meaningful work experience under projects developed by sponsors.
    At the end of the project participants will have recent work experience to add to their resume, which in turn will help increase their chances of finding long-term employment.
    This program provides non-insurable taxable employment.
    Participants are expected to accept insurable employment if it is offered to them while working under the NLJCP.

NL Wage Subsidy (NLWS)

    The main objective of the NLWS Program is to assistant unemployed EI eligible participants who are experiencing difficulty in obtaining/maintaining employment by providing them with valuable on-the-job work experience.
    This is a client-focused benefit that is geared towards individuals who have barriers which prevent them from obtaining/maintaining employment.
    This program provides insurable taxable employment.
    The expectation is that it will lead to permanent employment for the participant at the end of the program.
