The Youth Employment and Skills Program (YESP) will contribute approximately $13.5 million to projects that employ youth and youth facing barriers. Each project will be eligible to receive up to $14,000 in matching funds to employ one (1) employee. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is one of several Government of Canada departments participating in the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy.
Eligible employers:
Eligible employees:
Program funds may be allocated for salaries and social benefits. Social benefits paid to the employee, such as health benefits and vacation pay, are eligible expenses. Employer’s contributions to benefits programs, such as CPP and EI, and in Quebec, QPP, QPIP, CNESST, and the Health Services Fund, are eligible expenses.
If the employee is a youth facing barriers, you’re eligible to claim pre-approved expenses to address the employee’s barrier, supported at 80% to a maximum of $5,000. These costs need to be directly linked to addressing the barrier to employment. Expenses could include critical transportation, relocation, assistance with dependents, accommodation needs, accessibility equipment/technology, etc.
Non-barrier youth may also be eligible for pre-approved relocation costs at the 50% funding level to a maximum of $5,000. All expenses you claim must involve a cash payment. Taxes you pay for barrier-related expenses are not eligible for reimbursement.
Upper cost limits may be imposed on certain types of items or services.
