Building UP Program Overview
The Building UP program provides funding to organizations supporting individuals in acquiring job skills, assisting employers, connecting job seekers to employers, and managing community training funds, with a focus on strengthening partnerships with Yukon First Nations and under-represented groups in the labor market.
Detailed Explanation of the Building UP Program
The Building UP program in Yukon aims to address labor market challenges by funding organizations that play a crucial role in skill development, job search assistance, and employment support services for individuals. The program also supports employers by enhancing their labor market capacity through various projects and initiatives like industry-specific strategies and employer networking events.
Eligible organizations under the program can receive funds for activities such as case management, skills development, job search assistance, and employment support services for individuals. Additionally, funding is available for projects that connect employers to job seekers, research and distribution of labor market information, and the development of sector-specific strategies.
The program prioritizes strengthening relationships with Yukon First Nations, empowering under-represented groups such as youth, workers over 50, newcomers to Canada, people with disabilities, and women in trades and technology to actively participate in the labor market. By providing financial assistance for project costs like staffing, operating expenses, and administrative needs, the Building UP program aims to enhance labor market opportunities across communities outside Whitehorse.
Organizations interested in applying for funding through the Building UP program are encouraged to focus on strategic partnerships, community consultation, and the utilization of regional and national labor market information. Successful applicants will demonstrate strong measures of success in their projects, including financial and activity reporting for accountability and evaluation purposes.
Overall, the Building UP program serves as a vital resource for organizations looking to contribute to the growth and development of the labor market in Yukon by addressing the diverse needs of individuals, employers, and communities through targeted initiatives and support services.
