CBC Radio Hosts YES CEO for Ontario-Wide Program

Today, CBC Radio hosted YES President & CEO Timothy Lang for its syndicated programming, reaching listeners across Ontario, to discuss youth employment and what youth can do to enhance their chances of finding work this summer and beyond. Lang recognized that the youth unemployment rate is up to 13% and the U.S. leadership and tariff instability has caused some Canadian employers to slow hiring, but that there are still jobs available. 

“Many youth may have to cast a wider web and look at opportunities a little further away or in various sectors, but the good news is there are still employers looking to hire”. Lang told CBC it is always important to leverage ones network, friends or contacts, and certainly take advantage of the free resources like at Youth Employment Services that help youth find a job.  Above all, staying positive and continuing to enhance your resume and cover letters and keep on it will help in the end.
