In the community where I live in the North, I see a lot of young people not interested in attending school, I believe that a great business opportunity for a small business could be to have a Specialized Vocational Training & Employment business. Where the focus is not only on theory but learning skills that can be used to help build the community.
Small communities often face “brain drain” or high unemployment in specific sectors despite having local labor needs.
The Outcome: Long-term job retention (e.g., a worker remains employed in a local trade for at least 12 months).
The Logic: The provider isn’t just paid to run a workshop; they receive the bulk of their funding only when the participants successfully transition into the local workforce and stay there.
In Terms of Homelessness and supportive housing this can be done on Evidence-Based Funding where funding is tied to success, allowing the government to invest in programs that demonstrate real, measurable improvements in clients’ lives, such as housing retention, improved well-being, and greater independence.
Totally agree with you on this, at times we tend to be very reactive and wait until the situation gets to a point where is harder to fix or controlled. Especially as it relates to Long – Term care services. This would be a better out come for some people if they are not at a critical stage.
While this is not a practice in any of the Government with which I have worked to date. Outcome-based Commission would be an interesting experiment particularly in these government programs that are designed to foster economic development. For example our contracts with service providers to assist persons wishing to set up their own business would in my mind be an ideal candidate. Currently there are limited measures to access the outcome of these contracts or to give incentive to contractors to perform.
