Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant to FOPL to Deliver Employment Information to Newcomers 

Media release           Date  Dec. 4, 2019 Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant to FOPL to Deliver Employment Information to Newcomers  Toronto – The Federation of Ontario Public Libraries announces funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for Mobile Information for Newcomers on Employment (MINE) project In 2018, Ontario welcomed over 135,000 immigrants looking to build a new life for themselves and their families. For a substantial number of newcomers, lack of knowledge about information resources, difficulties navigating the service landscape and lack of access to information communications technologies are key barriers to employment.

The project will target newcomers in the Waterloo region who are not currently accessing available library or community information resources, are have difficulty navigating the service landscape, and/or do not have access to information communication technologies. We will bring information experts, tools and technologies to vulnerable newcomers in innovative ways. The project includes research, implementation of a pilot, and evaluation in order to confirm effectiveness and options for replicating the model. The research phase will focus on what the current gaps are in newcomers’ use of existing employment and financial information in Waterloo. We will examine what the barriers are as described by newcomers themselves and those that serve them. We will also learn about innovative information services that have been proven effective in similar situations. In the implementation phase we will learn about the concrete requirements of our proposed solution, partnership options, and practical... read more
