The CEC is currently conducting interviews for intake into our Connect-ED Working Circles program. We have our 7th cohort starting on November 17 or 24. We are conducting interviews of youth ages 18-30 (as of next Monday) who are generally speaking out of work and out of school, and interested in marketing, communications, administration. Youth who have some post-secondary or work experience in entry-level marketing, social media, administration would likely find this opportunity most valuable. The program includes 5 weeks of virtual training, followed by a 10-14 week paid employment placement. Youth who are in training receive a weekly living allowance at an hourly payment that equals minimum wage. They are then on the payroll with the employer. The employer is reimbursed by CEC based on invoices and payroll reports (usually 1-2x during the placement). Employers who might consider hiring the youth full-time following the placement are ideal, but we know that this is not always the case.

 

Please help us to spread the word to youth and employers who might be interested in this program!
