Supports for individuals
who are in transition
As the data shows, there is a significant portion of the Windsor-Essex
population that is struggling economically. These challenges include
decreased access to jobs due to a lack of regional transit, and displaced
workers who have been unable to find new employment
Fortunately, our region has a number of government programs from the
Ministry of Training, Colleges and University and other provincial and
federal programs that support these individuals through organizations like
the Unemployed Help Centre, Ontario Works or the Small Business Centre.
As our economy continues to transition to a knowledge-based economy,
more people will fall into these disadvantaged positions. Ensuring that
there are adequate supports for them to find new employment will remain
a necessity in the near term.
