Youth Skills Connection

This program is for all youth ages 18-30 who are unemployed, not in school full-time and looking for work. Participants of this program attend 6 or 8-week paid workshop which consists of career planning, job search and employability skills topics. The workshop is a combination of in-person and on-line delivery. After the workshop, participants are placed in an 8 to 12-week paid work experience in an entry-level position in the direction of their career aspirations. The work experiences are intended to lead to full-time employment.

This program is offered at Bow Valley College West Campus in Calgary, and also runs in Banff/Canmore & Cochrane. All participants must have access to a computer or tablet.
