Bridging the Gap Pilot Project (Phase II) was a client–centred approach to education and employment that integrated the realities of employers in rural Newfoundland and Labrador. The project involved several economic zones, communities, private sector businesses and social and economic development agencies throughout Newfoundland and Labrador over a 12 month period. The intent was to provide long term, sustainable employment and life altering educational and developmental opportunities to 44 unemployed people who had not completed high school.
