A participant must have an Employment Action Plan that has been developed with a Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Employment Counselor, who will determine eligibility based on program criteria. The training must: be a required component of a participant's Employment Action Plan lead to sustainable employment Training and skills Development (TSD) selectively provides grants to people who meet the program criteria. The focus of the program is to help clients receive training or educational programs which will allow them to return quickly to work. The TSD duration is limited to: a maximum of two consecutive years for a regular training program a maximum of one year for academic upgrading for grade levels 7 to 9 and two consecutive years for grade levels 10 to 12 a maximum of three consecutive years for a co-operative training program The level of TSD funding is determined by an Employment Counselor and may cover a portion of tuition and books as well as other training expenses. Services to persons with low vision/blind in Northeastern New Brunswick This can involve low vision assessments, independent skill training, technology training and/or independent travel lessons (white cane). PETL has designated two employment counselors to provide service to people who are blind or partially sighted in this region and CNIB is providing training for these staff. Also, PETL is

9 Career Counseling and Job Placement Services 5 contracting CNIB to do workplace assessments and consult on accommodation for individuals with vision loss who have secured employment. Training and Employment Support Services (TESS) Website: www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/services/services_renderer html Training and Employment Support Services assists individuals with permanent or long-term disabilities to gain access to training and employment opportunities. A participant must: be a resident of New Brunswick or a First Nation Community in New Brunswick; be 18 years of age or a high school graduate who is 17 years of age; have a permanent or long-term physical, intellectual, psychiatric or cognitive disability; have an Employment Action Plan. Provided as part of the Employment Services Program, Training and Employment Support Services (TESS) is directed towards individuals with physical, intellectual, psychiatric or cognitive disabilities. The purpose of these services is to offer training and employment support options to persons with permanent or long-term disabilities who need to develop marketable skills in order to assist them to enter the labour force. These services are provided in full collaboration with the person with a disability in accordance with his/her needs and capabilities. By its nature, the process is time-limited in that provision of goods and services is aimed at attaining self-sufficiency. Therefore, TESS is limited to the concept of enabling persons with disabilities to either obtain employment or resume employment when it has been interrupted. The intent is designed to reduce or remove, to the fullest extent possible, the effects of a disability, which limits a person's potential to achieve a job. It is not the intention of TESS to support training activities for individuals who already have marketable skills to enter the labour force, nor is it the intention of TESS to place persons with disabilities in a preferred position to that of the nondisabled. Rather, the purpose is to lessen the barriers a person with disabilities faces so that he/she may be as competitive as the non-disabled population when competing for employment. It should be noted that any individual with a disability, whether or not they are receiving income support benefits, could be eligible for services under TESS.

In the past, many people receiving benefits because of a severe and prolonged disability believed that they were permanently out of the work force. Today, new technology, medical treatments and skills training are making it possible for some people with severe disabilities to become part of and remain in the work force. That is why the Canada Pension Plan is making vocational rehabilitation available to those who can benefit from it the most. Candidates could: return to their former job with their former employer; return to a modified version of their former job; work at a different job with their former employer using their current or newly acquired skills; work at a different job with any employer able to use their current or new skills; be retrained for a job through skills or education upgrading; be helped to gain skills for self-employment.
