EI-related program application support
Women’s Employment Outreach provides support for clients wanting to investigate the following EI-related programs:
In order to qualify for these programs, EI-attached individuals must meet a series of requirements, and must complete a number of steps as part of the application process.
If you are interested in any of these EI-related programs:
- Book an appointment to meet with an employment counsellor. We will answer your questions, explain criteria, review the application process and complete a needs assessment. You will then have the opportunity to decide whether or not you want to proceed with an application
- If you decide to apply, your employment counsellor will set up two appointments, at least two weeks apart. During the first appointment, you will create a plan for completing the various parts of the application. On the second appointment, your application will be finalized and WEO will submit it to Employment Nova Scotia
- Employment Nova Scotia will assess the application within 4-6 weeks, and contact you directly to let you know whether or not you have been accepted for funding
- If you are accepted into an EI-related program, your employment counsellor will also act as your Case Manager, and your file will remain open for the length of your program. As Case Managers, our role will be to maintain regular contact with you, to act as a liaison between yourself, your school, service provider or job placement site, and Employment Nova Scotia, and to provide support and assistance should any problems arise
- Please note that the application process for EI-related programs takes a minimum of several weeks
