Youth Awareness
Human Resources and Social Development Canada's Youth Awareness provides financial assistance to sponsors to design projects that respond to specific labour market requirements and adjustments. Through Youth Awareness sponsors, employers, communities and youth will also develop a heightened awareness of youth as the workforce of the future.
