Youth Are Working

Youth Are Working  gives youth ages 18-29 the opportunity to take part in five weeks of training, followed by a minimum of 20 weeks of employment.

The participants in this program are ready and able to work, but may have limited job experience or are looking for an opportunity for gainful employment. That is the only pre-requisite for taking part.

For Employers, we offer a Service Canada Youth Grant worth 50% of the wage of the employee’s worked hours. The grant is based off the current minimum wage ($12.50 as of April 2021).

The participants undergo five weeks of training prior to beginning their work experience.
