Youth Job Connection Summer

YJCS supports secondary school students with multiple barriers through mandatory employability skills training and part-time employment opportunities, either throughout the summer or at a maximum of 10 hours per week during the school year.  We guide and coach students to make positive educational and career choices as well as gain valuable work experience.

Note: there is a paid 20 hour minimum pre-employment training component to this program which is facilitated in Markham. Pre-employment must be completed before a job placement/work trial opportunity can be provided.

The next YJCS session will be held November 9-20, 2020

• Pre-employment workshops will run Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm.

Eligibility criteria:

• 15-18 years of age
• Unemployed and currently enrolled in school
• Ontario resident living in York Region
• SIN card and able to legally work in Ontario
