The Government of Canada Helps Calgary Youth Prepare for the Job Market

The Government of Canada Helps Calgary Youth Prepare for the Job Market

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwire – Nov. 15, 2010) – Local youth who face barriers to employment will get job preparation training and help returning to school thanks to the Government of Canada’s support for an employment project. The Honourable Jim Prentice, Member of Parliament for Calgary Centre-North, made the announcement today on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.

“For many young Canadians, making the transition to the job market is a challenge, especially in today’s environment,” said Mr. Prentice. “That’s why our Government is creating opportunities for youth to succeed through support for initiatives like the Stoked About Staying in School program.”

With assistance from the federal Skills Link program, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary will help 12 youth develop the skills and experience needed to find jobs or the confidence to return to school.

Project participants will attend group workshops focusing on such topics as the impact of education on adult living, job preparation skills, résumé writing and teamwork. The youth will also develop back-to-school action plans to help them reach their employment and educational goals.

Skills Link helps youth facing barriers to employment, such as single parents, Aboriginal youth, young persons with disabilities, recent immigrants, youth living in rural and remote areas, and youth who have dropped out of high school.

This news release is available in alternative formats upon request.

BACKGROUNDER

As part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy, the Skills Link program is one of three programs that help young Canadians, particularly those facing barriers to employment, obtain career information, develop skills, gain work experience, find good jobs and stay employed. The other two programs are Summer Work Experience and Career Focus.

Skills Link supports youth in developing basic and advanced employment skills. Eligible participants between 15 and 30 years of age who are not receiving Employment Insurance benefits are assisted through a coordinated, client-centered approach offering longer-term support and services that can help them find and keep a job, based on an individual’s specific needs.

Through the 2010 “Jobs and Growth Budget,” the Government of Canada committed an additional $60 million to the Skills Link and Career Focus programs. This additional one-time investment will enable more young Canadians to gain the experience and skills they need to successfully participate in the job market while the economy recovers.

Youth employment programs are also part of the Government of Canada’s strategy to create the best educated, most skilled and most flexible workforce in the world. The Government underscored its commitment to this strategy in Canada’s Economic Action Plan. A key component of the Plan is to create more and better opportunities for Canadian workers through skills development. To learn more about Canada’s Economic Action Plan, visit www.actionplan.gc.ca.

The Skills Link program is delivered by Service Canada, which provides one-stop personalized services for Government of Canada programs, services and benefits. For more information about this program, visit www.servicecanada.gc.ca, call 1 800 O-Canada or drop by your local Service Canada Centre.
