The Canadian Library Association is pleased to be a partner of the Department of Canadian Heritage in the administration of the Young Canada Works (YCW) program. This project is made possible by funding provided through the Heritage Programs Directorate of the Department.
Young Canada Works (YCW) offers students and recent graduates the chance to put their skills to the test, build career equity, earn money for their education or get started on the right career path.
Eligible employers may benefit from wage subsidies and access to a pool of talented youth with innovative ideas and competitive skills. YCW subsidies to eligible employers enable the creation of around 2,300 job opportunities per year in the fields of heritage, arts, culture and official languages.
With a variety of exciting programs tailored to job seekers and employers, YCW offers the best of both worlds. So put a great idea to work and take up the YCW challenge!
