Strengthening Canada’s Workforce by Empowering Young Canadians
CareersForYouth.ca is a national employment platform dedicated to improving youth workforce participation across Canada. Our mission aligns directly with the Government of Canada’s objective to help young people—particularly those facing vulnerability, systemic barriers, or limited employment access—transition into meaningful work with confidence.
We help youth aged 15–30 connect with real job opportunities, skills-building roles, internships, and early-career pathways. By offering a centralized, accessible, and barrier-reducing platform, we support Canada’s long-term economic resilience and help build the next generation of skilled workers.
1. Improving Youth Employment Outcomes
CareersForYouth.ca increases access to jobs and promotes early exposure to the labour market. Our user-focused design ensures young Canadians—urban, rural, Indigenous, newcomer, underrepresented, and vulnerable youth—can easily find opportunities that fit their path.
2. Supporting Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility
The platform is structured to reduce barriers to employment. Youth can explore jobs regardless of background, work history, or location. Our tools encourage confidence-building and participation for those who need it most.
3. Strengthening Employer Capacity Across Canada
We help businesses—from small enterprises to national employers—connect with motivated youth talent. This supports labour market needs, boosts productivity, and aligns with federal priorities to prepare employers for economic growth.
4. Enhancing School-to-Work Transitions
Through curated postings and community partnerships, we bridge the gap between education and employment, echoing initiatives under the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS).
