• A virtual program with attendance required virtually for 30-35 hours per week on Zoom and other platforms.
• An opportunity to gain skills, career insights and networking connections in the areas of marketing, communications, administration and content creation.
• An opportunity to develop new skills which may be applied to an employment placement through the program (upon successful completion of training and other restrictions).
• 6 weeks of virtual training with a reimbursement of living expenses equivalent to minimum wages.
• Successful trainees may "graduate" into an employment placement with an employer which could include: a community-benefit organization; a small-business; a larger company; a marketing business.

Selection will be based on set criteria, including current education and employment status. Some employment placements may require physical attendance in Guelph/Wellington/Dufferin. Intake will be geared accordingly. To be eligible, youth must:

• be between 15 and 30 years of age at the start of their training program;

*Youth must be 15 years of age at the beginning of the employment period. The youth may be more than 30 years of age at the end of the employment period as long as the youth was 30 at the beginning of the employment period. **International students are not eligible participants. International students include anyone who is temporarily in Canada for studies and who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person who has been granted refugee status in Canada. Youth awaiting a refugee status ruling, as well as those who hold a temporary visitor visa, youth visa or work visa are ineligible. As the objective of the funding for this program is to support youth entering the Canadian labour market, the temporary nature of an international student\xe2\x80\x99s time in Canada does not allow for a long-term connection to the labour market.
