This program is for First Nations and Inuit youth between the ages of 16 and 24 who live on reserve or in recognized communities and are out of school and unemployed. This program offers applicants the opportunity to work in term employment for a period of six to nine months. Successful applicants will perform a variety of tasks, depending upon the position. A mentor assists participants with their transition to employment and with completing their work terms.
Assessments occur on a regular basis.
While working in this program, youths earn minimum wage levels for the province in which they reside. Applicants must go through Indian or Innu Band Councils or the Labrador Inuit Association to obtain placements and additional information.
