Youth Employment and Skills Strategy Program

Description of the program

Do you envision closing gaps in services and creating more opportunities for young people to move successfully into independence? Do you want to do this for Youth facing barriers, whose story is one of difficulty to get a foothold in the labour market, who find mostly low-wage and low-skill work even with increasing educational qualifications?
