In Phase II, an information package was developed and distributed at the CSC Conference in June 2006 that contained:

• A brief overview of One Stop (now Employment Ontario)
• Overviews for all three programs, Academic Upgrading, Job Connect and Pre-Apprenticeship/Apprenticeship
• Quick Facts for all three programs and,
• An Apprenticeship poster (developed by the London District Catholic School Board in consultation with the London MTCU Apprenticeship office)

In August of 2006, colleges received another package of materials with samples of actual forms, processes and models that upgrading programs use. The package also included a template for recording actions undertaken by a program to further initiate service integration with Job Connect and Apprenticeship. A post-assessment was also completed.

Two templates were developed for participants to record projects that had been concluded and projects that were still in progress within the participating programs.

Originally, this final phase was to include telephone follow-up. The timing of the phone calls (January) and the minimal amount of information obtained through this avenue, however, made this activity unachievable. Any information garnered from the telephone conversations is reflected in the information provided in the summary of activities attached to this report.

In order to develop a picture of the activities that had been completed or were currently in progress within the colleges and their programs, blank templates were distributed via email. The templates were sent out by several different sources, making it difficult to determine the actual number of people who had received them. The people who had submitted information during the pre-survey stage were also sent the templates to complete. Having said this, the response rate to the distribution of blank templates to all the colleges was quite remarkable.
