Salt Spring also earns program credits for having identifiable groups with special employment problems — i.e., women re­ entering the workforce and youths seeking their first jobs. Government programs exist to help those groups, Singbeil said, and a centre here would be able to "make those programs more accessible" by acting as an information source for employers and the jobless. Salt Spring also qualifies for a centre on the basis of its unemp­ loyment rate and its number of social assistance recipients. Singbeil said the island comes up short in only one eligibility requirement: it is relatively small in terms of population. The shortfall is not expected to create a problem in qualifying for fun­ ding, however.
