The Environmental Employability Pathway program is an employment readiness program which aims to help all youth (age 15 to 30) to navigate through the labour market and to successfully transition into sustained employment.
ECO Canada, in partnership with the government of Canada’s Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS) Program, will work with institutions and employers across Canada to fund work for youth facing barriers, including:
- Young women
- Visible minority youth
- lndigenous youth
- Youth living with a disability
- Official language minority communities (OLMC) and populations
The program will help them develop their employability skills and obtain work experience that will prepare them to find and keep employment. This program aims to help youth facing barriers to obtain work experience, in part-time or full-time roles up to 40-hours per week.
