Second Career Now Permanently Funded


The Ontario Government has announced that Ontario's Second Career program is now a permanent program and will continue to help laid-off workers train for new careers in high-demand fields.

As of June 8, Employment Ontario made changes to application guidelines making more laid-off Ontarians eligible for Second Career. Our employment services staff are well versed in the Second Career program and its application process, and are ready to see if Second Career is a good fit for your needs. For more information go to Second Career.

"I was 17, confused and thought I was a lost cause. I became homeless. I heard about Safe Haven's youth shelter, but was skeptical and scared. [But] the staff are extremely friendly and so supportive...I wasn't judged. They showed me how to cook, do a budget, and even helped me with my homework."
