Towards a winning economy
New beginning
Our program has precisely the same goal… to offer this second chance to people who have achieved a certain emotional stability and seem sufficiently motivated and committed to change their life situation. We are convinced that these people, with the assistance of our agency, will regain their self-esteem, giving those who are able to persevere-a chance to get out of the mess and dare to believe that there is hope of obtaining and maintaining a decent job.
Positive spin-offs resulting from the project.
-
Allow Second Chance Workshop to add educational programs that will be adapted to the needs of its students.
-
This program goes a long way towards improving the New Brunswick economy.
-
This new program will create new jobs for Second Chance Workshop.
-
This operating model can be replicated in other cities in our province.
-
The presence of Enviro Plus allows a larger percentage of our communities to donate recyclable material; which makes them more aware of taking an active part in helping the environment.
-
Improvement in attitudes is visible in trainees who complete the program. They are more confident and have better self-esteem, even if they did not find a job at the end of the program.
Economic benefit:
Once reintegrated into the labor market, graduate trainees will receive a salary and be on their way to financial independence. As a result, for each individual who finds a job, the New Brunswick government saves between $8,031 and $21,657 (Figures obtained for the year 2022) ..which could translate to annual savings of over $500,000 for the Provincial Government.
