ASPECT Rural & Remote Action Committee - Distance

a.k.a. Refocusing the Urban Lens for Employment Programs

After our first meeting on January 6, we identified some themes to discuss further. Our next session will focus on distance and its impact on delivering employment services.

Even if you did not attend the January 6th meeting, join us to discuss issues related to delivering employment services in rural and remote locations. This discussion group will consist of ASPECT members who administer and deliver employment programs to rural, remote, and Indigenous communities.

We will host a series of monthly meetings between January and May on the first Thursday of every month at 10:00. Each month will focus on a different topic which will be identified in this first meeting. To participate, please sign up for the session that most interest you and for which you have something to contribute.

Goals

• Discuss and record the challenges related to delivering employment programs to rural, remote, and Indigenous communities
  
• Create content for a white paper to inform government for future employment program design
