Stat chat

Hi, folks

Just wanted to send a Springly reminder to please let us know when you find work or enter a training program - we're confident that there are lots of beneficial but unmeasurable outcomes of the program but Service Canada only looks at one stat when deciding whether to renew our contract so any help you can provide would be most appreciated.

Dream job, temp job, part-time, full-time, back-to-school, new-to-school, too-cool-for-school (okay maybe not this one), even giving Aunt Ethel weekly footrubs if she's paying you - anything and everything counts and helps. And don't worry if it's been more than three months since we've seen you - we're starting to compile a 2006-2007 summary report that will include follow-ups on all participants from the past year. And if you're unsure if we've already heard your good news, please forward it anyways and we'll double-check.

(there's nothing wrong with celebrating twice, eh?)

Thanks on advance for all your help with this and good luck out there.
