Summary:
The Skills Development Program is intended to place claimants in a course of instruction or training program that will help them obtain employment once they are finished. It is not meant for people who already have jobs and are simply taking the course in order to procure their own advancement in the company. If the claimant's employer was having problems because the claimant did not have his Red Seal certification as a journeyman plumber, then it was up to the employer to assist him in that regard. The Umpire upheld the Commission's decisions that the claimant did not have just cause for voluntarily leaving and was not available for work.
