Youth Foundations Programs

We give youth opportunities to explore post-secondary and career options by partnering with school boards and industry to offer youth foundations programming. Designed for students in Grades 10 to 12, these programs allow students to earn high school CTS and/or work experience credits.

Additional, these programs provide participants with foundational skills in the program areas and introduces them to post-secondary life. In some programs, there is the opportunity to connect with potential employers.
