Youth Employability Skills & Strategies (YESS) Program

Adapting to life in a new country can be challenging, especially for young people who need to balance education with work to support their families.

The Youth Employability Skills & Strategies (YESS) Program assists newcomer youth and young adults aged 15 to 30 by providing the support and training needed to secure and maintain employment. We host group sessions at high schools and provide one-on-one support. 

The YESS Program Helps Youth: 

• Research career paths 

• Excel in job interviews 

• Write standout resumes and cover letters 

• Attend employment site visits
