YES President & Youth interviewed for CityNews Toronto on Youth Employment Struggles
CityNews reporter Rhianne Campbell interviewed YES President & CEO Timothy Lang and YES client Judah Walker‑Lewinn about youth employment and the difficulties today’s youth face in finding work. Walker‑Lewinn, who received YES’s free training and job‑placement services, spoke about the hardships youth encounter before coming to YES. CityNews spent time at YES while covering youth unemployment and the higher‑than‑average joblessness among Black youth. Recent reports show that if nothing is done, it could cost the Canadian economy over $18 billion in productivity and lost wages. YES shared its proven solutions to help young people find employment and build stronger communities.
