The Government of Saskatchewan has announced an investment of 880 thousand dollars for the Digital Literacy for Job Seekers Initiative. Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison says this initiative helps individuals with limited experience acquire the digital skills they need to enter and compete in our labor market.

Job seekers will complete an assessment to determine their individualized learning needs and will be trained on basic digital literacy skills and use of digital devices as well as developing skills to support job search efforts such as resume and cover letter writing, developing a portfolio and online job search.  To be eligible individuals must be legally entitled to work in Saskatchewan, at least 16 years of age, unemployed or underemployed and seeking employment.  For information on the program and eligibility contact SaskJobs Career Services directly at 1-833-613-0485 or careerservices@gov.sk.ca.
