We had an AMAZING On The Job at Old Navy in August with a great manager leading the discussions and group. From that event we had so many super enthusiastic youth applied to their local Old Navy after!

Trying to book as many events as we can to help our youth before Summer and during Summer was difficult as many folks were on holiday and getting in touch with our old navy rep

ON the Job at the Old Navy store! Such a great experience, our local Old Navy has been so great to partner with and expressed wanting to do more events with us in the future

Our experience doing On The Job training!

Aswell I had a youth come by yesterday who did the program a year ago. She noticed Old Navy was hiring and wanted a little refresh before applying! It was great to see her back.

Opening ourselves up to running group workshops instead of purely on the job events - we are running an interview prep workshop this week and will be going through the online portion of This Way ONWard!

Our ON the Job event was so much fun, especially for some younger youth who can't necessarily apply for jobs yet

Youth whom are shy and. Reserve attending interview at Old Navy. Old Navy Team is always welcoming .

A lot of our youth need significant support with transportation, food, and hygiene. Our youth are mainly quite high risk and need a lot of support with basic needs. We provide transportation and food hampers as much as we possibly can, but extra funding for basic needs is always needed and appreciated for our youth!

The job market itself is really tough so we are always trying to make connections directly with employers and hear about openings first!

Challenges with having our youth show consistent engagement in the program at times

We had many programs throughout the summer able to utilize the old navy program and even spend time at a location

We're excited for on the job prep workshops coming up this fall!

Continuing the networking opportunities with old navy staff - introducing us to them during these check in meetings!

We have been able to promote a casual youth worker into a part time program facilitator role to help our program coordinator with practical support for the youth here.

Many of our participants are located in the opposite end of town from our Old Navy store, and transportation is a common barrier. Our transit system is not the best, and many youth express concern about applying for jobs in the opposite end of town and getting to work on time

Youth attending program on time as in Peel transportation is always a challenge.

Hamilton location did a great job hosting bgc at their location

How can we address the systemic barriers that prevent youth from obtaining SIN numbers, while also equipping them and their families with the resources and advocacy they need?

Engaging youth in MyBGC sign-up. The youth completing TWON through MyBGC have no problem because they know they will need to follow along to recieve their certificate.

However, our youth volunteers are not engaged in MyBGC sign-up due to not doing there volunteering online.

On the job was super successful and two of the youth attended interviews afterward and got part time jobs for the school year.
