How does it work?
The Youth Employment Strategy offers a broad range of initiatives under three separate programs: Skills Link, Summer Work Experience and Career Focus.
Each program serves a particular group of youth: Skills Link is for youth facing barriers to employment; Summer Work Experience is for secondary and post-secondary students; and Career Focus is for post-secondary graduates.
So, how does it work?
In some cases, the Government of Canada funds employers and community organizations to hire youth and help them gain practical work experience and develop employment skills. In other cases, federal departments and agencies offer initiatives that give youth work experience in specialized fields, such as international development or science and technology.
Thirteen Government of Canada departments and agencies work with partners in other governments, businesses and communities to deliver the initiatives under these programs.
