Apple Auto Glass Helps Youth Prepare for the Labour Market

Apple Auto Glass along with The Government of Canada will provide job preparation training and work experience to our local youth. The Honourable Greg Thompson, Member of Parliament for New Brunswick Southwest, made the announcement on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.

Apple Auto Glass will receive just over $10,000 in federal Skills Link funding to support its youth employment program.

Skills Link focuses on helping youth facing barriers to employment, such as single parents, Aboriginal youth, young persons with disabilities, recent immigrants, youth living in rural and remote areas, and youth who have dropped out of high school.

Troy Weeks, co-owner of Apple Auto Glass Oak Bay said this is a good opportunity for our youth, and we hope that other employers will see the benefits and support this program.

The federal government is working with the provinces and territories, community organizations and other stakeholders to provide Canadians with the training, skills and opportunities they need to get jobs and contribute to their communities.
