Canadian youth are one of the country’s greatest strengths and sources of potential, and the Government of Canada is supporting them at every stage of their journey toward a prosperous future.

Creating opportunities for young people to gain the skills and experience they need for a fair chance at financial success is key to strengthening our economy, building a more inclusive country, and ensuring that no one is left behind.
