Our In-School and Out-of-School Youth programs help clients gain the skills they need for high-demand jobs in their communities. We provide training, workshops, field trips, mentoring and internships that allow youth to explore new areas and find out what they are good at. Our program has three phases: Phase 1: Employability and training preparation Phase 2: Workplace exposure and post-secondary education/training Phase 3: Employment Youth work with a Career Advisor to create a Career Pathway Plan toward sustainability in a field that capitalizes on the youth’s unique talents. Our cohort program design allows youth to move through the program as a group, learning teamwork skills and providing support to each other as they share similar experiences. We target youth who may face substantial barriers to employment: those who are in the foster system, at risk of dropping out of school or facing poverty and other challenges.
