Training and Skills Development (TSD)

Website: www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/services/services_renderer.5097.html

Training and Skills Development (TSD) program has been introduced in an effort

to ensure that case managed individuals, whose employment action plan identifies

skill development as being necessary, have access to funding to assist them in

achieving their goal.

A participant must have an Employment Action Plan that has been developed with

a Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Employment Counselor, who

will determine eligibility based on program criteria.

The training must:

be a required component of a participant's Employment Action Plan

lead to sustainable employment

Training and skills Development (TSD) selectively provides grants to people who

meet the program criteria. The focus of the program is to help clients receive

training or educational programs which will allow them to return quickly to work.

The TSD duration is limited to:

a maximum of two consecutive years for a regular training program

a maximum of one year for academic upgrading for grade levels 7 to 9 and

two consecutive years for grade levels 10 to 12

a maximum of three consecutive years for a co-operative training program

The level of TSD funding is determined by an Employment Counselor and may

cover a portion of tuition and books as well as other training expenses.

Services to persons with low vision/blind in Northeastern New Brunswick

This can involve low vision assessments, independent skill training, technology

training and/or independent travel lessons (white cane). PETL has designated two

employment counselors to provide service to people who are blind or partially

sighted in this region and CNIB is providing training for these staff. Also, PETL is



contracting CNIB to do workplace assessments and consult on accommodation for

individuals with vision loss who have secured employment.

Training and Employment Support Services (TESS)


Training and Employment Support Services assists individuals with permanent or

long-term disabilities to gain access to training and employment opportunities.

A participant must:

be a resident of New Brunswick or a First Nation Community in New

Brunswick;

be 18 years of age or a high school graduate who is 17 years of age;

have a permanent or long-term physical, intellectual, psychiatric or cognitive

disability;

have an Employment Action Plan.

Provided as part of the Employment Services Program, Training and Employment

Support Services (TESS) is directed towards individuals with physical, intellectual,

psychiatric or cognitive disabilities. The purpose of these services is to offer

training and employment support options to persons with permanent or long-term

disabilities who need to develop marketable skills in order to assist them to enter

the labour force. These services are provided in full collaboration with the person

with a disability in accordance with his/her needs and capabilities.

By its nature, the process is time-limited in that provision of goods and services is

aimed at attaining self-sufficiency. Therefore, TESS is limited to the concept of

enabling persons with disabilities to either obtain employment or resume

employment when it has been interrupted. The intent is designed to reduce or

remove, to the fullest extent possible, the effects of a disability, which limits a

person's potential to achieve a job.

It is not the intention of TESS to support training activities for individuals who

already have marketable skills to enter the labour force, nor is it the intention of

TESS to place persons with disabilities in a preferred position to that of the

nondisabled. Rather, the purpose is to lessen the barriers a person with disabilities

faces so that he/she may be as competitive as the non-disabled population when

competing for employment. It should be noted that any individual with a disability,

whether or not they are receiving income support benefits, could be eligible for

services under TESS.

Services offered: The Canada Pension Plan Disability Vocational Rehabilitation

Program is designed to help people who receive a Canada Pension Plan disability

benefit return to work. In the past, many people receiving benefits because of a

severe and prolonged disability believed that they were permanently out of the

work force. Today, new technology, medical treatments and skills training are

making it possible for some people with severe disabilities to become part of and

remain in the work force. That is why the Canada Pension Plan is making

vocational rehabilitation available to those who can benefit from it the most.

Candidates could:

return to their former job with their former employer;

return to a modified version of their former job;

work at a different job with their former employer using their current or

newly acquired skills;

work at a different job with any employer able to use their current or new

skills;

be retrained for a job through skills or education upgrading;

be helped to gain skills for self-employment.

Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities helps people with disabilities

prepare for, obtain and maintain employment or self-employment.

projects involving eligible activities. Through local and regional projects, recipient

organizations deliver eligible activities to individuals.

Funding for national projects helps organizations create projects designed to

provide and improve employment services and increase the labour market

participation of people with disabilities across Canada. Through national projects,

recipient organizations deliver eligible activities to individuals in various regions.
