Youth Employment Strategy
Summary
The Youth Employment Strategy (YES) by IRAP Canada aims to equip young Canadians with work experience and skills for employment. While not exclusively tech-focused, IRAP often collaborates with YES to fund youth employment in innovative SMEs, offering valuable experience and career entry points in the technology sector. Funding amounts vary based on project scope and specific program streams.
Eligibility Criteria
* Applicants must be young Canadians (typically aged 15-30). * Projects should aim to provide work experience, skills development, and job opportunities for youth. * SMEs, particularly those involved in innovation and technology, are encouraged to partner with YES through IRAP. * Specific eligibility criteria may vary depending on the particular YES stream or IRAP collaboration.
