The Youth Employment Fund (YEF) provides an entry point to long-term employment for unemployed individuals between 18-29 years of age who require a work experience opportunity as identified through their employment action plan. By placing an individual with an employer, the youth may gain work experience and develop skills through basic workplace training, mentoring and coaching (from the employer).

  • Provide youth with an experiential learning opportunity.
  • Provide a wage subsidy to employers to help them provide quality employment to youth.
  • Financial Support: 100 per cent of the minimum wage for 30 hours a week will be subsidized for up to 26 weeks; plus up to $1,000 for individual support is available per youth to address barriers to the placement.
