Odd job squad initiative seeks to help under-employed

The Odd Job Squad is a new initiative scheduled to launch on Wednesday, May 23, by the Yellowknife Association for Community Living (YKACL) Employment Services.

The project seeks to assist under-employed individuals who self-identify with a disability to make some money from one-time or short-term work while they search for permanent employment.

YKACL staff are looking to connect with employers and households that may offer casual or temporary employment at or above minimum wage, which is $13.46 an hour.
