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.
