“Our thoughts are with the workers and their families during this difficult time.

We are taking action to provide direct assistance to affected Target employees.

Our goal is to get these workers back to work as quickly as possible by:

• Offering information sessions to ensure workers know what types of jobs are in demand and where they should look to apply for them.
• Ensuring they know what benefits and services are available, including training for in-demand jobs.
• Providing information on the government’s Job Bank including Job Alert and Job Match features, which connects workers directly with jobs.

Service Canada will be working with stakeholders and all levels of government to ensure that these workers have all the supports they need at this difficult time.”
