For more than a decade, the Passport to Prosperity program has supported employers and educators in developing career-mentoring opportunities for students as a cost-effective solution to recruiting, training and retaining young workers.

Currently, more than 25,000 employers across the Province are currently engaged in school-to-work programs. Career-mentoring programs provide employers with an early opportunity to engage Ontario’s future workers, expose them to career options they may not have known about or considered and help them acquire the specific workplace skills and experience businesses seek.

Contact us today!  Our team can help you customize your level of involvement and provide you with information, resources and tips to help you with your planning process.  By investing in our youth today, you are investing in your workforce tomorrow.
