We have a bunch of resources/rauemi from interview tips, contract advice, suggested training providers and onboarding success.

Young job seekers have a lot to offer - placed in the right nurturing environment, they can learn and grow to become incredible employees.
We provide a lot of information and resources to youth around how to ace an interview, how to make a good first impression and even where to look for employment. What we don’t commonly talk about is how these processes are a two-way street.
Here at Youth Employment Success, we want to help youth out as much as possible with getting in to their desired industries and to do so, we offer a wide range of opportunities that won’t cost you (the employer) or the youth anything other than a little bit of time!
