OVERVIEW
About Youth Employment Services:
Founded in 1968, Youth Employment Services (YES) is the largest youth employment counselling centre in Canada, providing youth employment, job training, entrepreneurship, and empowerment programs. The charity focuses on serving young people with barriers to employment, such as homelessness, a lack of formal education, a criminal record, and drug abuse. YES believes that employment is empowerment and leads to safe and healthy communities. YES works to empower disadvantaged and vulnerable youth to become self-sufficient, contributing members of society.
Youth Employment Services provides young people with professional counselling and training. Its training techniques are used as a teaching model for other employment services across Canada and around the world. In F2019, YES reports that it helped 12,122 youth. Of the total youth, 62% were under the age of 24, 19% were new Canadians, 61% had at most a Grade 12 education, and 19% were out of work, school, or training for over a year. The charity worked with 1,653 employees to help youth secure work placements.
