Overview of the Webinar Series:

The future of work is changing. Youth are motivated and embrace lifelong learning as a key to their success – but they still need support.

Join us for this FREE webinar series from RBC Future Launch to hear from three different valuable groups of panellists composed of researchers, youth-serving organizations and social enterprises discussing resources focused on supporting Canadian youth with skill development, practical work experiences, networking and mentorship supports.

This 3-part webinar series will cover a range of engaging topics, from scholarships to post-secondary education, to practical tools for youth seeking job experiences and skill development opportunities. Participants will also get the chance to gain insights from research on the labour market and further understand the outcomes for youth participating in career development programming.

Why Career Practitioners Should Attend:

Throughout the series, career practitioners and educators will get the chance to engage with subject matter experts and sector leaders and get actionable insights on programs and initiatives that have made a significant impact on youth. Participants will be exposed to a diversity of free programs and resources to add to their tooldkit. By the end of the series, career development practitioners – especially those working with youth aged 15-29 – will leave with practical knowledge, tools and resources they can apply and share in their work with their young clients.
