    The Net-Work Program is designed as an employment readiness program for people in the pre employment stage.

    The John Howard Society of NL is expanding their reach to rural areas through new programming. Adam Power is the Manager of Employment Services. He says in March, the Department of Immigration, Population, Growth and Skills issued a request for proposals for new types of employment programming, so they came up with this program. Power says the Net-Work Program is designed as an employment readiness program for people in the pre employment stage. Power says the next session starts next week.
