Northern Lights Canada

The focus of labour adjustment is to provide supports and services to displaced workers, the community, and organizations with job-threatened workforces.

Adjustment objectives are:

• to help individuals deal with their job loss and plan for their future as quickly and effectively as possible
• to help communities anticipate, respond to, and manage changes in the local labour market
• to strengthen organizations with job-threatened workforces, and protect jobs

Northern Lights Canada works in partnership with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, employers, workers, and the community to provide a comprehensive list of adjustment services:

• individual needs assessment and the development of action plans
• job search assistance
• employment and educational counselling
• information on training
• personal support to deal with the stress of job loss
• financial and credit counselling
• information on starting a small business
• access services for special-needs groups
• coordinating/chairing adjustment committees
• designing services to meet the individual needs of adjustment programs
