Ministry of Transportation and Communications There'salot for oun peop in Ontario. Find out Young people in Ontario can take advantage of a number of excellent programs and services offered by the Government of Canada. If you're interested in any of the ones described here or in knowing more about others that are available, just use the coupon below to find out. Youth Opportunity Fund The continuing strength and vitality of our nation rests with its young people. Thats why the Government of Canada has attached such great importance to creating jobs for Canadian youth. In the last federal budget, $150 million was added to the $1 billion Youth Opportunity Fund. The purpose of this fund is to help young people, including students, to learn new skills and find jobs in private industry and the voluntary and public sectors. Training for Youth Haven't found the right job yet? On-the- job training is one of the most practical ways to gain valuable work experience. The Govern- ment of Canada's General Industrial Training program allows you to earn while you learn. Meny employers have already used this pro- gram to help give young people a start in life. Your employer may be reimbursed for nearly all of the training costs. As well, the Government of Canada will, in most cases, pay the employer half of your wages during the training period. Training may last from a few weeks to a year. To learn more, use the coupon below. Career-Access could open doors for you A lot of young people know what kind of career they want and may even have pre- pared for it by studying at high school, univer- sity or training at vocational schools or community colleges, Even so, once they start looking for jobs in those fields, they may not be able to find what they want. That's when the Career-Access Program can help. It was de- signed to encourage employers to hire these people so they can gain valuable experience in their chosen careers. The encouragement for employers is that the Government of Canada pays part of the wages while the person is gaining needed experience. Specialized Services Because they have no job training or trade, lots of young people find it difficult to get jobs. So there are special programs designed just for them. For example, Specialized Youth Units (SYUS) are staffed with people who cooperate with community agencies and Outreach projects to place these young people in suitable and rewarding jobs where they can increase their skills. Theres a SYU branch in Scarborough where Ontario young people can apply for help. Planning now for future Job security Modern technology keeps changing - the ways we work and the jobs we do. Canada's National Training Program includes a plan that will make sure people are trained now for the kinds of skills that will be very much in demand in the eighties and after. The Skills Growth Fund encourages public training institutions and private non-profit organizations to teach modern technical and related skills and to de- velop the facilities for this work. The easiest way to find out more about training is to ask at your local Canada Employment Centre. Get involved in Katimavik Katimavik is a popular and successful national youth program for single people from 17 to 21. If you participate, you will be involved for nine months, travelling in groups to differ- ent regions in Canada and working on commu- nity projects. The work is rewarding and varied, from the restoration of cultural artifacts to the clearing of trails and waterways in munici- pal parks. While you don't get paid as you work, there is a $1,000 honorarium at the end of the nine months. Some Katimavik projects here in Ontario have involved a companionship and home care program for seniors, establishing day care centres for single mothers and a drop-in centre for teens. Or, you could find yourself building a fishermen"s wharf on Cape Breton Island or staffing a community cablevision station in British Columbia. This year, 5,184 participants will be needed for over 400 projects in cities and com- munities across Canada. It could be a great' way for you to develop new skills, meet new people and learn a lot about yourself and your country. Interested? Find out!
