Update on Employment Assistance Resource Network (EARN)
January 14, 2014
Last year Workforce Planning Hamilton shared a survey with the community to garner feedback about EARN. Over 100 people completed the survey with 68% being aware of EARN, and 32% unaware.
Key findings from the survey indicated that the main reasons that people were no longer regularly attending meetings included: agenda wasn’t always relevant; did not know about meetings; time constraints; and other staff were assigned to attend.
Over 50% of those surveyed would continue the current meeting schedule (ie. monthly meetings). Over 60% found the Annual Regional Networking event in the fall to be of value.
