'Mary Burnett, community worker for this area. Ontario Youth Opportunities may be for you If you are between the ages of 15 to 24, and can't get a job because you don't have experience, and can't get experience because you don't have a job, then On- tario Youth Opportunities may be for you. Ontario Youth Oppor- tunities is a ten-point pro- gram that will provide young people with the chance to get training and experience required to help lead to permanent employ- ment. Launched in May 1984, the Ontario Govern- ment has committed $450 million over three years to Ontario Youth Opportunities. The focus of these pro- grams is on those young men and women who are having the hardest time fin- ding and keeping a job due to employment barriers, such as limited education, or little or no work ex- perience. A number of pro- jects have been specifical- ly designed for disabled young people and native youth, both on and off the reserves. Special attention has also been given to pro- viding jobs in areas of high unemployment, particular- ly Northwestern Ontario. Ontario. Youth Oppor- tunities includes wage sub- sidies to help young people get experience in business and community service; in- tensive training and counselling for those with special needs; special train- ing for careers in the tourism industry and interest-free loans for young entrepreneurs to start new businesses. Stewart Pelly, a 20 year old Kenora resident is working on an Ontario Youth Corps program. This new program creates meaningful work for young men and women who are most in need of employ- ment. Jobs range from clerical work for police forces to working on farm crews. Local groups are able to hire these young people with wage subsidies and support funding pro- vided by Ontario Youth Corps, for a period of up to 26 weeks. Through Youth Corps, Pelly has been hired as the Recreation Co-ordinator of the Ne'chee Friendship Centre, located in Kenora. Pelly's job includes runn- ing movies, organizing cribbage tournaments, and co-ordinating teen dances. According to Pelly, "Working at the centre has been a real confidence builder. At the end of each day I feel proud that I've accomplished something." For many young people the transition between school and work can be rough. After leaving school, they lack the prac- tical experience needed to land permanent employ- ment in their chosen fields. Employers, too, are often frustrated, letting jobs go unfilled because they can't afford the costs of training new workers. Ontario Career Action' Program (OCAP) is designed to help young. people and employers bridge this gap. OCAP offers up to 16 weeks of on-the-job train- ing and work experience, with the government pay- ing the full training allowance. Vicki McMahon, 21, is working as an OCAP trainee at the Ministry of Natural Resources in Geraldton. McMahon is a Supply Clerk in the warehouse of the Geraldton Operations Base.
