The Community Social Services Labour Adjustment and Education Fund Committee is calling for new applications from members working in the community social services sector.

• If you were laid off as of April 1, 2011, have had a reduction in hours and are currently a union member covered by the Community Social Services Bargaining Association Collective Agreement

OR

• If you are a current employee who has successfully completed the probationary period in a Community Social Services Bargaining Association collective agreement job and are interested in skills development, you may be eligible for reimbursement of training costs up to a lifetime maximum of $5000.
