Currently eligible for ODSP, WSIB, LTD, EI and some programs are also offered to the general public who meet the necessary criteria

This varies form program to program. For our academic upgrading and ESL programs we use standardized testing at regular intervals. For computer skills training, we use computer based testing. For all programs there are typically monthly meetings with the client and his/her case manager or employment planner to evaluate progress and address any issues. We also use client and case manager evaluation forms at the end of programs, or quarterly for programs of longer duration.
