Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an investment of up to $9.2 million to enhance the Youth Employment and Skills Program (YESP) and fund up to 700 new positions for youth in the agriculture industry.
This additional funding will help the agriculture industry attract Canadian youth, ages 15 to 30, to their organizations to assist with labour shortages brought on by the pandemic.
Employers may apply for this funding retroactive to April 1, 2020, with projects to be completed by March 31, 2021.
