Employability Screen


Overview: April 2, 2012

Effective: April 02, 2012

The Employability Screen is used in determining whether a recipient meets the criteria for Persons with Persistent Multiple Barriers (PPMB), and is an optional tool for employment planning for all other clients. The Employability Screen identifies past dependency on assistance, recent work history, education level, and English proficiency and literacy.  Based on responses to the employability questions, a score is calculated, and a client’s potential employment readiness is determined.

The Employment Readiness Information Questionnaire (ERIQ) replaces the Employability Screen as the ministry’s main tool for determining employment readiness.
