Internal Memo
High Priority: I've added Description re Second Career and OSEB; this is an EAS service provider who also offers Second Careeer and OSEB from the Employment Ontario OES program! [RES, 17 Apr 2013]
 
High Priority: High Priority: I've added the agency's Legal Name as per MTCU request -- this will give you another search key if clients need it! RES [RES, 16 Apr 2013] High Priority: Hi partner: The WorkPlace Group has been confirmed by MTCU to be funded to provide the EAS program, therefore the EAS template has been applied; please note: this agency does not provide and LBS program so please ensure updates are always to the EAS template unless we hear otherwise; also, made just some very small cosmetic type changes that are more in line with Inform Ontario standards -- eg. no need to repeat main phone/fax for the Contact people, or include a Mailing Address unless it differs from the Office Address, or finally to include a Site Address if you are just repeating the building data from the Main Address -- site address does allow you to clarify a location if it happens to be difficult to find or if you feel clients need extra instructions about where the agency is located. Cheers, RS [RES, 16 Apr 2013]
