The strategy aims to increase participation in the centre's job placement program by 20% within a year and ensure employment retention of over eight months. One major approach is enhancing outreach and marketing efforts. For example, the centre plans to create social media campaigns that highlight success stories and partner with local community organizations for referrals. Distributing flyers and hosting informational webinars are also part of this strategy.
Improving program quality and support services is another crucial element. The centre will implement mentorship programs, offer advanced skills training, and provide personalized career counseling. For example, mock interview sessions with real employers will help participants gain practical experience.
Strengthening employer partnerships and offering hiring incentives are also part of the plan. Establishing formal agreements with local businesses for priority hiring and hosting employer networking events are key actions. For instance, the centre will invite employers to participate in program workshops, which can also lead to job placements.
