The Issue The issue is that youth find it hard to get

employed. They do not know where to find the job They also do not know where to look for

jobs. Some of them are graduates, but still can

not find jobs in their fields.

Advocacy Statement

We believe that the youth have the right to work in our society and be given a chance to prove themselves in the Canadian market.

The area we chose to support is Scarborough.

ReflectionWhat did we learn?

Most youth find it hard to look for jobs Not many have done their research about

their chosen field There are many agencies that help support

the youth in finding their jobs Many youth don’t have much knowledge of

where to look in search of their career. Ontario has the highest rate for

unemployment in Canada Some people don’t have a job because of their

lack of experience
