Youth Break Barriers to Employment (YBBE)
UNA-Canada's initiative to tackle youth un-and underemployment in positions relating to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals
What Is YBBE?
YBBE is an innovative youth employment programme that aims to stimulate the Ontario economy by training youth aged 15-30 (inclusive) and matching them with a quality employment placement.
We offer up to 75% wage subsidy to employers related to one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Additional training opportunities for interns available!
If you are an organization from St. Catharines, Toronto or Hamilton, and are interested in receiving wage subsidies and training for new hires, apply today!
Please note that UNA-Canada is an equal opportunity employer and encourage organizations interested in hiring differently-abled, rural/remote and/or indigenous youth to apply to funding.
