加拿大的未來取決於我們的年輕人是否能獲得所需的優質、高薪就業以促成他們的成功。為年輕人創造更多機會，以讓他們獲取寶貴的技能和經驗，將會增強我們的經濟，並有助於建設一個不讓任何人掉隊的加拿大。

總理賈斯廷·杜魯多（Justin Trudeau）今天宣布投資“青年就業和技能戰略”（YouthEmployment and Skills Strategy , YESS），以幫助加拿大成千上萬面臨就業障礙的年輕人。這筆資金將用於地方和全國的多個項目，有可能幫助單親父母、無家可歸的年輕人、有色少數族裔群體或殘疾人等獲得必要的技能，融入產業勞動力隊伍。

這項投資將爲年輕人打破障礙，並為他們提供靈活和個性化的支持、就業服務和各種機會，爲他們的職業發展產生持久而積極的影響。

YESS 支持為年輕人提供有償工作安置和技能開發服務的組織，並支持廣泛的支援服務，例如工作輔導、心理健康支持、就職面試的服裝、父母的日托服務、以及爲互聯網服務提供補貼以幫助青年尋找工作機會等。

每一個加拿大的年輕人都應獲得公平的機會去爭取成功。加拿大政府將繼續投資於年輕一代，使他們能夠獲得所需的資源、培訓和服務，助他們的職業生涯起飛，促我們的經濟繁榮。

加拿大總理賈斯廷·杜魯多（Justin Trudeau）閣下：

加拿大就業、勞動力發展和無障礙化部長卡拉·夸爾特羅（Carla Qualtrough）閣下：

Canada’s future depends on our young people being able to get the good, well-paying jobs they need to succeed. Creating more opportunities for young people to gain valuable skills and experience will strengthen our economy and help build a Canada where no one is left behind.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced an investment through the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS) to help tens of thousands of young people across Canada who are facing barriers to employment. This funding will go to local and national

projects that could help a single parent, a young person experiencing homelessness, visible minority groups, or a person living with disabilities gain the necessary skills to transition to the workforce.

The investment will break down barriers for these young people and provide them flexible and personalized support, employment services, and opportunities that will have a lasting and positive impact on their careers.

YESS supports organizations that provide paid job placements and skills development services to young people, as well as a broad range of support, such as job coaching, mental health support, clothes for job interviews, daycare services for parents, and subsidized internet access to help with job searches.

Every young person in Canada deserves a fair chance at success. The Government of Canada will continue to invest in them, so they can access the resources, training, and services they need to jumpstart their careers and help our economy prosper.
