Understanding the Employment Needs of Regent Park
In this interview Ayesha Khan talks to Ayesha Amin a Community Researcher with SDP Employment and Economic Development Working Group (EED).
The re-development of Regent Park has sparked much discussions about employment and whether the current employment resources are adequately servicing the needs of residents. In order to understand those needs better the SDP Employment and Economic Development Working Group (EED) is undertaking an on-line survey designed to examine what’s working, what is needed, and what can be improved.
