The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities is responsible for
the Employment Ontario (EO) network which provides employment
services and training programs
Over the last few years, EO has undergone a transformation to improve
and integrate services for Ontarians
The new EO Network was designed to improve Employment Services
(ES) with service providers now offering the full suite of EO programs
in every community in Ontario. ES offers a one-stop shop where anyone
walking in will receive the same access to information and quality of
services needed to achieve their employment goal
Employment
Services
 The goal of ES is to help Ontarians find sustainable
employment. Through a range of resources, supports and
services, ES bridges the gap between the employment needs of
individuals and the skilled labour needs of employers
 The five components of ES provide a highly flexible tool kit of
services that can be customized to an individual’s particular
needs. ES is not all things to all people, and not all people will
require the same supports or the support of all components
 This integration of service components allows for a responsive
suite of service options that are truly client-centric
