Page "Job creation program" Paragraph 1

Canada has many job creation programs at both the federal and provincial levels.

At the federal level they are part of Human Resources Development Canada ( HRDC ).

There are job creation programs for many groups such as students, fishers, and visible minorities.

The government's HRDC agency subsidizes organizations that offer eligible participants opportunities to maintain or enhance job skills.

Through these work terms, which can last up to a year, participants gain recent work experience and network with other people.

This increases the participants ' chances of finding long-term employment.
