Volunteer organizations

You can find assistance with developing and delivering your WEP by approaching volunteer organizations.

Many volunteer organizations are able to assist employers in developing employees' basic skills.  Some volunteer organizations do this as part of their regular volunteer commitment to their communities.  Others undertake workplace education on a fee-for-service or cost recovery basis.
