WE STILL HAVE SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR JUNE 20TH!

Hi everyone! 😊
We still have spots in our employment program starting on June 20th! It's a free program and helps anyone 15-30 years old who are unemployed and dealing with any barriers to employment, these can include: youth may be racialized; le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, or q***r (LGBTTQ); indigenous; recent immigrants; living with disabilities and mental health issues; living in poverty; poor or lack of labour market experience; low levels of education and literacy; in conflict with the law; low motivation etc. (unfortunately, these remain barriers to employment in some fields). It is a paid program!
Please share with friends and family or anyone who might be helped by it. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are interested in participating! Thank you 😊
