You will be scheduled for an intake appointment to assess your eligibility and suitability for the program. During the intake process you will be asked for some personal information including but not limited to: past work history, education, any barriers you may have faced such as mental health challenges, housing, or personal supports, so that we can assess what services you need and how we can best serve you.
