Fedcap Canada Selected by Ontario Government as a Qualified Applicant for Next Phase of Employment Services Transformation

September 13, 2021

I am so pleased to announce that Fedcap Canada has been selected by the government of Ontario to be among the qualified applicants for the next phase of its Employment Services Transformation (EST). This next phase covers four new catchment areas: York, Stratford-Bruce Peninsula, Halton and Kingston Pembroke.

We will build upon the success of our current operation in the Hamilton-Niagara region where we are fortunate to be collaborating with a service provider network that embraces change, demonstrates a high level of commitment to jobseekers across the catchment area and ultimately delivers excellent outcomes. Our talented staff at Fedcap Canada and our service provider network have a shared commitment to excellence, exceptional local knowledge, and a passion for driving best practices and innovation in employment services.

Together we are transforming the delivery of employment services in Hamilton-Niagara to support more families, students and workers whose lives have been upended by the pandemic and left without work and with limited job opportunities. A healthy network drives our success.

I am proud that we are among like-minded public, private and voluntary organizations—embracing change and working together to deliver better results for the people of Ontario.

CBS Miami Spotlights ReServe: Harnessing the Power of Adults 50 & Older

CBS Miami Spotlights ReServe: Harnessing the Power of Adults 50 & Older

CBS Miami recently aired a spot on ReServe, and ReServist Asunción Marin on their news segment: Miami Proud. Click here to view the clip. 

Prior to becoming a ReServist, Ms. Marin has been a marketer, manager, wife, mother, and grandmother. She juggled it all successfully, but after selling her last business, a sandwich shop franchise, she wondered what to do next.   

“The one thing is constant is knowing that I wasn’t staying home! I don’t care what age I am as long as I have the energy and the impetus to be able to continue, I want to stay busy,” she said.   

ReServe Executive Director Ed Bolognini gave viewers an overview of ReServe’s history and mission. “Women and men who are over 50 face all sorts of passive and overt age discrimination – folks don’t even get a response to an application for work,” he said. “ReServe pairs ready to work adults with nonprofits and government agency partners who need help, with part-time positions in varying roles.”   

For Ms. Marin, Reserve has proved to be a perfect fit. She works 20 hours a week as a ReServist, keeping her skills sharp, and learns new ones. “I had never written grants and I became quite proficient in writing grants. It keeps your mind busy and keeps her engaged. I stay busy and have time for my family.  If I can continue to help and give back, that’s a wonderful way to be.”
