Young Canada Works

The components of the Youth Employment Strategy that relate to official languages are Young Canada Works in Both Official Languages and Young Canada Works at Building Careers in English and French. Both are contained in the Second-Language Learning component of the Enhancement of Official Languages Program. The aim is to advance the skills and hands-on experience of young participants while enabling them to learn and improve English or French as a second official language.

• Young Canada Works in Both Official Languages aims to provide summer employment to students in their field of study in their second official language.
• Young Canada Works at Building Careers in English and French aims to provide students with international internships that give them the opportunity to acquire and develop skills in key areas of the global labour market and language-based industries involving Canada's official languages.
