CAP Youth Initiatives
The Community Access Program (CAP) Youth Initiative (YI) is coordinated by Industry Canada's Community Access Program and is funded through the Youth Employment Strategy (YES) of Canada which is overseen by Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC). CAP's youth initiative aims to provide employment opportunities for young Canadians between the ages of 15 and 30—primarily students, recent graduates, or the under-employed or unemployed.
The purpose of CAP YI is to provide youth with work experience that will facilitate the transition to the labour market. Its objectives are:
- To support the sustainability and long term viability of CAP sites by providing work experience for young Canadians in CAP sites across Canada;
- To increase the use of information and communications technology (ICT) across Canada to promote economic and social development at the community level; and
- To allow young people to gain valuable skills related to (ICT) thereby positioning them for longer-term employment
