The objective of fset is to draw upon the strengths, needs and preferences of individual job seekers by offering an array of employment and training services intended to facilitate an efficient use of resources to assist fset volunteers to move promptly into unsubsidized employment. In addition to employment and training services, the fset program offers assistance to fs members while they look for work. Offered assistance includes help with resumes and applications, transportation support, work-readiness workshops, interview assistance, and work experience volunteer placements.
