With
about 550 staff members, Human Resources, Labour and Employment is
one of the largest departments in the Newfoundland and Labrador
Government.
The
department was formed in 2004 following government's decision to
move Youth Services and Immigration into the former department of
Human Resources and Employment. The department also became
responsible for the newly created Labour Relations
Agency.
Bringing together income support,
employment support, youth services, labour market development and
immigration provides greater opportunities to integrate an array of
programs and services. These are all designed to help low-income
people and families build greater social and economic independence. |
