In the dynamic landscape of the 21st-century economy, young people, women, and newcomers are seeking more than just a job—they’re looking for a sustainable career path, meaningful education, and opportunities to build something of their own. The EEAW program from Yes Youth & Women Can (YYWC) embraces exactly that. Rooted in three powerful pillars—Entrepreneurship, Education Access, and Workforce Readiness—the program is designed to equip participants with the tools, guidance and networks needed to move confidently from classroom, to career, to business ownership.
What the Program Offers
- Entrepreneurship: Receive training in business-start-up fundamentals, digital marketing, financial literacy, and practical mentorship. Participants engage in incubator-style labs and pitch competitions to jump-start their entrepreneurial journeys.
- Education Access: Get personalized guidance on selecting programs, applying for diplomas/degrees, navigating student loans (OSAP), scholarships, and bridging programs for internationally-trained professionals.
- Workforce Readiness: Prepare for employment through resume building, interview coaching, technical upskilling in high-demand sectors (trades, technology, digital services), and direct connections to internships and job placements via YYWC’s employer partners.
Why It Matters
For participants from immigrant backgrounds, Black Canadians, women balancing family/work and young adults seeking direction, programs like EEAW can make the difference between being under-employed and attaining real upward mobility. YYWC emphasises equity, ensuring that historically underserved communities receive access to opportunity, mentorship and tangible outcomes.
