Supporting employment goals of single parents
Raising children as a single parent comes with its own unique set of challenges.
Seeking employment, or juggling education or training while supporting a household can be particularly tough.
101 WorkBC Centres across the province offer services and supports to single parents looking for work - including resume and cover letter writing, interview prep, and skills assessments.
In addition, the Single Parent Employment Initiative (SPEI) provides funded training and paid work experience to single parents on income or disability assistance. Additional benefits include childcare and transportation costs, healthcare, and ongoing support for up to a year - all without impacting assistance.
WorkBC can help! Contact your local WorkBC Centre today.
