You are invited! Igniting the Spark: How to engage and motivate youth, March 10, 2016
Although
free employment services are offered in Hamilton by Employment Ontario research shows that youth are under utilizing the services. Youth unemployment in Hamilton is double that of the rest of the job seeking public so this is a worrying trend.
With these facts in mind, WPH worked in partnership with the Neighbourhood Action Strategy and youth to explore why this disconnect is happening. Suggestions have been developed to provide tips to employment services on how to be youth friendly.
You are invited to attend Igniting the Spark: How to Engage and Motivate Youth, on March 10, 2016 to hear the results of the research, and much more!
