Ashe said that this program is an impor- tant one because the young people who enter the program will be em- ployed by the private sector in real jobs - not government make-work jobs. The program provides full-time and part-time positions offering young people practical on-the- job experience and the chance ta learn new skills. The positions are created in the com- munity through the par- ticipation of local businesses. Participants in the "Youth Works" program are paid the minimum wage. "Youth Works is designed to help young people facing special employment dif- ficulties," Ashe says, "It provides them with access to training and actual job oppor- tunities." John Bartel, director of the Youth Em- ployrnent Service (Y.E.S.) says that his program attempts to make young people em- ployment ready. It even goes as far as to teach them living skills and such things as how to get up for work every morning. IlMany of these people are not able ta be com- petitive in the job market," Bartel says, "For the majority of our kids its their first ful time job." And this is the dif- ference, he says bet- ween bis agency and the Canada Employmnent Centre. C.E.C. deals with the job ready, we deal with the non-job ready," Bartel says, "We have ta make themn job ready, we have to teach themn ta becompetitive." Ashe noted that in- cluding the $615,983, the provincial government has infused a total of $1.3 million into this program and already has created sorne 200 jobs. And according to Diana Deakin-Thomas, co-ordinator of the Youth Works program in this area, well over 50 per cent of the young people placed in local private industry are being kept on after the six month programn runs out. Employers par- ticipating in the program do not have to pay the young people placed with them. They, however, are respon- sible for giving them skills and on-the-job training. Fred Horne (leit), chairman of the Youth Employrnent Service advisory committee, watches on as Diana Deakin-Thomas, co-ordinator of the local Youth Works program (centre) accepts a cheque for $615,983 from Durham West MPP George Ashe. The money will be used to create 273 jobs for young people aged 15 to 24 over the next six to eight mon- ths throughout Durham Region.
