Youth employment programming is more important tha

Youth employment programming is more important than ever! A report from Statistics Canada shows a troubling increase in the number of NEET youth in Ontario. NEET stands for Not engaged in Education, Employment or Training - this means people that are currently not in school, in work, or in training programs.

✨Here are the numbers:
In 2021, one in five young Ontarians aged 25 to 29 (20.7%) were NEET. In 2020, NEET youth accounted for 1 in 6 young Ontarians (16.8%); in 2019, 1 in 7 (14.6%). The increase in NEET youth is concerning for a variety of reasons – though the potential for improvement is possible via increased interventions.

✨Why is there a need for youth employment programming?:
NEET youth are hard to reach. Connecting youth to meaningful employment is easier when they are already in school or have a job. Without these pre-existing networks, opportunities can be hard to find!

✨Are you seeking work, training, or career exploration?
Check out our upcoming #AspireYouthSummit2023 for an opportunity to connect, be inspired, and learn!
