Youth Employment and Skills Program Intake Announced

The Government of Canada has announced the opening of the application period for the Youth Employment and Skills Program (YESP), set to begin on January 27, 2025. This initiative, backed by $13.5 million, aims to create approximately 1,200 jobs, addressing labor shortages in the agricultural sector. Eligible applicants include producers, agri-businesses, and Indigenous organizations, with a priority given to Indigenous employers for the 2025-2026 year. This program could significantly influence workforce dynamics and employment opportunities within the agri-food industry.
