S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Youth Employment Program (YEP) aims to help young people overcome barriers to employment by providing them the skills, experience and ability to make a successful transition to employment or return to school.  Local youth aged 15-30 who are out of school, unemployed or underemployed are encouraged to enroll to this program.

YEP targets at at-risk youth such as single parents, recent immigrants, high school dropouts and those facing other barriers to employment. This program offers both group-based employability skills training and work placement. Youth will work on self- assessment, life skill development, career planning, goal setting, and will be exposed to community resources and trade talks.  Participants can earn up to $3,360 plus a $300 bonus upon completion of the 14-week program.
