What are barriers and challenges for youth (ages 14 to 29) to access employment in Hamilton.
Project Description: Hamilton’s Youth Strategy, informed by youth residents, identified access to employment and training as a priority. With objectives to increase employment, improve wages, and access to financial supports, the City of Hamilton must first better understand the barriers and challenges faced by young people. This project will work along City staff and the HamOntYouth Steering Committee to answer key questions about the employment and training needs of Hamilton youth.
