## About This Program

Subsidy to hire barriered youth into the labour market

## Details

Career Starter provides bio-economy employers with 60% of a youth’s salary to a maximum of $20,000 including wrap-around services. This will help employers adopt a diverse and inclusive work culture while satisfying their need for skilled labour.     The program encourages employers to open the bio-economy’s doors to barriered youth and youth furthest from employment. Barriered youth includes individuals who experience broader systemic barriers that negatively impact their ability to find and keep employment, Youth furthest from employment are barriered youth who are chronically not in employment, education or training (NEET) for at least 6 months, and have other unmet basic needs.
