Youth employABILITY is a free and paid government funded employment program aimed at helping youth in the local communities across the GVRD learn about employment topics and gain useful skills for the labor market. We serve youth aged 15-30 who are currently unemployed. The program is 8 weeks long and we cover a variety of topics including customer service skills, professionalism, communication, dressing for success, and other pre-employment topics like writing resumes and cover letters. The program also offers a wage subsidy covering not only the workshops attendance but a 4-week quality work experience, access to short term training certificates, interview clothing, primary needs items and transit cards.
