Events › Employment Connections: Programs and Supports for Youth Jobseekers

This is a free event for youth jobseekers (aged 15 to 24) to discover organizations offering help with:

• Job search
• Work experience
• Training and upskilling
• Resume and interview preparation

Find programs that best suit your needs, including support for those facing barriers to employment.

Drop in – no registration needed. This is not a job fair. No employers will be present.
