Canada to support youth jobs in agri-food sector. Canada’s Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food has announced that the federal government will contribute up to $3.7 million to improve the Youth Employment and Skills Program (YESP) and support 300 youth jobs in the agriculture sector. The YESP is part of an Employment and Social Development Canada initiative to help young people gain information, skills, experience and abilities to successfully transition into the labour market. In the past two years, it has helped to create almost 1,000 agricultural jobs across Canada. Employers who hire Canadian citizens, permanent residents or refugees between 15 and 30 years old for agricultural jobs may receive a wage subsidy of 50 percent, up to $14,000. Employers who are Indigenous individuals or organizations, and employers who hire youth facing barriers, such as a person who is a member of a visible minority or living in a low-income household, will be eligible for compensation of 80 percent of the cost of salaries and benefits, up to $14,000. An additional $5,000 in funding may be provided to applicants to address barriers to employment, such as relocation. The YESP is an important tool for the agricultural sector, which continues to face difficulty accessing labor. Applications for the current intake closed on March 21.
