The concert program will feature wartime songs and big band music. The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry Band and the London Police Pipes and Drums Band will also be on hand, performing military band music.

Group Employment Planning Course

We still have spaces available for this year's April 8 & 9 Group Employment Planning course. This course builds on Common Assessment Process training and is a skill-oriented course that will provide the practical skills required for conducting employment-planning workshops using the common assessment process model.

Participants will acquire a broad dimension of skills required for facilitating groups/workshops in employment planning. This course will cover such topics as workshop planning (initial, transition, working and termination) and difficult group behaviours and explore strategies to overcome these problem situations. Participants will acquire practical facilitating skills required of group leaders. On course completion, participants will be certified in the delivery of Group Common Assessment through employment planning workshops to clients - applicable to any employment group.

If you or your staff currently or would like to provide employment or training services to clients in a group setting, register now...
