About this Event
Description of the event:
The Youth Employment Summits (YES!) are exciting one-day events created to help youth with disabilities to explore careers and connect with the supports they need to succeed. Each summit brings together employers, post-secondary institutions, and community organizations to offer guidance, share opportunities, and build confidence for the future.
