Community Futures North Okanagan

Reminder: the next cohort of In Motion & Momentum+ (IM&M+) starts November 17th! ✨

IM&M+ is a transformational 10-week career development program.

This program is radically participant-centred and solutions-focused.

We meet you where you’re at, and the pressure to “find a job immediately” is taken away: whatever you want your goal to be, that’s the goal of the program.

We want you to live the life you want to live, and through IM&M+ you’re given support and time to figure out what that may be.

In Motion & Momentum+ is created and powered by the Canadian Career Development Foundation.

The Wage Subsidy Program through WorkBC helps cover a portion of employee wages in exchange for on-the-job training and work experience.

Benefits for Employers:

- Reduce cost of hiring and training new employees
- Get coverage of a portion of employee wages
- Fill vacant positions
- Get disability supports to reduce work-related barriers for employees

WorkBC Client Vaughn said "I thought that doors were closed to me but through this Wage Subsidy program it has made me more aware of the open doors." ✨

Through the WorkBC Wage Subsidy program, a local business was provided with a subsidy that covered a portion of Vaughn's wage while he learned the new job. This allowed the business to expand its workforce with help to offset the costs to invest in the training and development of a new hire.

Contact our Wage Subsidy team at 250-545-2215 x230 to learn more (or read about how our Wage Subsidy Program could potentially help you here!)
