The “Young Canada Works” program is an initiative of the Department of Canadian Heritage (DCH) and is part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YES). 

The Conseil économique et coopératif de la Saskatchewan (CÉCS) administers the Young Canada Works program in both  official languages in Manitoba, the 
Northwest Territories, Nunavut and  Saskatchewan. 

Employers 

Employers can benefit from a subsidy covering part of a student’s salary for students living more than 125 km from the workplace. It helps promote the mobility of young people and the hiring of a diverse staff.
