Ontario's new Youth Employment Fund will help more young people find jobs. Starting this September, the fund will help employers offer four-to six-month job and training placements for young people seeking work.
Ontario will provide up to $7,800 to cover a range of supports and services for each eligible young worker under the fund. That includes up to $6,800 to help employers cover wages and training costs, and up to $1,000 to help young workers pay for job-related costs like tools and transportation to work.
