Online Resources
The Resource Library is an online searchable database of information about community-based employment and training across Ontario and beyond. Visit the ONESTEP Resource Library: www.onestep.on.ca/resource/intro.cfm Below are some recent additions:
Many people in the nonprofit sector feel that their work is not adequately
documented and therefore under-valued. Practitioners, in particular, are
frustrated because they lack objective, timely data on their programs and
services, making it difficult to apply their scarce resources wisely. The
position of Roberts Enterprise Development Fund is that much of this frustration
is due in part to an absence of appropriate measures by which the value created
by nonprofit organizations may be tracked, calculated, and attributed to the
philanthropic and public "investments" financing those impacts.
