The Government of Ontario is transforming Employment Services by integrating Ontario Works Employment Assistance and Ontario Disability Support Program Employment Supports into Employment Ontario to create one system. To do this, the Government of Ontario is selecting Service System Managers (SSM) who will lead the transformation of a catchment and ensure the implementation of innovative and efficient approaches to better connect individuals, including those in receipt of Social Assistance, Persons with Disabilities, Indigenous peoples, Francophones, Newcomers, Black and Racialized Individuals and others who may have unique needs to achieve sustainable employment. The Integrated Employment Services system, which will launch on January 1st 2024, is intended to create a clear path to employment for all job seekers including those who are at risk of long-term unemployment and who face systemic and other barriers to employment.
