It is a one-stop source of information about jobs, job search skills, training, education, and other services for employees and employers. 
 
Second Career provides laid-off workers with training to help them find jobs in high demand occupations in Ontario. Through the program, eligible participants receive support for tuition, books, travel and other expenses related to their training plan.
