Training Is Available If You're Out Of Work

With seasonal workers in Saint John and across the province up in arms over what some see as punitive changes to EI, premier David Alward is emphasizing that there is training available to help people on EI get back to work.

Through any office of the Department of Post secondary Training, Education and Labour you can get a career assessment, develop a career plan, and may be eligible to take other programs through the community college. Recipients are also reimbursed a percentage of their childcare and education costs.

Despite those measures however many recipients of EI are calling the changes as unfairly biased against seasonal workers and calling for widespread protests.
