Social Purchasing Portal (SPP) works?
Vancouver’s Fast Track to Employment (FTE) initiated the program in partnership with the BC Technology Social Venture Partners in June, 2003. In less than a year over 100 purchasing partners and 50 suppliers were online generating over $1,000,000 of targeted business activity and creating over a 70 jobs for youth at risk and hard-to-employ persons through the participating suppliers. The Ottawa SPP seeks to build upon this success.
