Community and Employer Partnerships
The Community and Employer Partnerships (CEP) funds projects to increase training and work experience for job seekers in B.C. Over 7,000 British Columbians have gained employment experience on 671 projects throughout the province.
CEP projects help to reduce poverty while strengthening the labour market, supporting communities, and contributing to economic growth.
