Aboriginal youth between the ages of 15 and 30 account for the fastest growing population segment in Canada. They play a very important part in filling many jobs left vacant when older people retire.
With education and skills training available though the Aboriginal Human Resources Development Strategy (AHRDS), Aboriginal youth have the potential to excel in careers in a variety of fields. To find out more about youth programs under the Strategy, click here, or contact your AHRDA holder directly.
The Government of Canada also has other programs and services available to Aboriginal youth. Opportunites for work experience, knowledge, skills and information are available at www.youth.gc.ca
The First Nations and Inuit Youth Employment Strategy has programs for First Nations and Inuit youth living on reserves or in recognized communities.
