Do you offer a wage subsidy for Employers?

We do not offer a wage subsidy, however we offer ongoing communication with the employer, employee, and our experienced Employment Consultants. We support during the transition and training until the job-seeker and employer both feel comfortable. We then fade out our support but we are always available to re-train or offer on-site visits to ensure that the individual is successful. Our support is always available if required.
