The Targeted Initiative for Older Workers

The Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW) helps laid-off workers with a broad range of training to help them find new jobs and match their skills and experience with the needs of employers wanting to hire in Chatham-Kent.

The TIOW is available to those who are:

Aged 50 to 64 (clients over the age of 64 who meet TIOW criteria are also eligible);
Laid off (out of work or working less than an average of 20 hours per week);
Legally entitled to work in Canada;
Requiring skills to find a new job; and
Living in Chatham-Kent.

Older workers will receive the employment assistance and skills training they need to find sustainable jobs.

For more information on the TIOW, visit your Goodwill Career Centre!

Job Alert Database

Occasionally we get a call from an employer or a good source about job opportunities. Then we scramble through our database (of 1500 names) to try to determine if anyone is suited for that job and contact them. This doesn’t work very well. To improve this we have started a separate database called Job Alert. If you fill in the survey with as much detail as you can, we will add this to the job alert database and when we receive good information of a job opportunity we check this database for people interested in this type of job and contact you. This will be faster and more efficient so we can get the information to you before the job is gone.

Please come in and fill in this survey or print it and bring it into us if you are interested in this program.
