SPONSORED CONTENT — Life Directions works with job seekers 15-years and older living with a self-disclosed or diagnosed disability. They have offices in Flesherton, Hanover, Meaford, Dundalk and Markdale. They are funded in part by the government of Canada, South-East Grey Support Services, Employment Ontario and Bruce Grey Huron Perth Employment Services.

If you qualify for service, the path to employment is an easy one and the results can be very rewarding. Simply drop-in to a Life Directions location or make a scheduled appointment. A qualified job coach will work with you to develop a Return to Work Action Plan.

Life Directions provides you with one-on-one pre-employment career development, including:

• needs and resource identification
• goal setting
• resume development
• interview preparation
• provision of training

Introductions to potential employers are arranged and interviews are set-up. When you secure employment or a job placement, Life Directions works with the employer to develop and implement a training plan for their new hire. The resultant job may be a stepping-stone to your longer term career goals.

Ongoing contact is then maintained with you and your new employer to ensure career success and employee retention.

Life Directions makes it easy to get started by filling out a pre-intake form.

As well, the Career Resource Centre (CRC) at Life Directions is available to anyone in the community – free of charge!

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.

Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
