Over the years, CFSC has coordinated a federal initiative called Computers for Schools, which has successfully provided 2.2 million computers 💻 to schools and communities. To refurbish old computers, our network of 14 affiliates, located in every province and territory, has been supported by over 8,500 youth dedicated to giving these computers a second life and helping students become digitally equipped. Thanks to Bluesky Strategy Group Inc. for their acknowledgment. If you work in the media, we need your help to spread some of our success stories!

It's World Youth Skills Day. According to the Global Employment Trends for Youth 2022 report, good-quality apprenticeships, well-designed internships, and volunteering initiatives can provide entry points into the labour market for first-time jobseekers and young graduates.

Celebrating #WorldYouthSkillsDay! Today, we applaud the incredible young minds who are paving the way to a future filled with innovation and discovery. Let’s look at three of our programs that are empowering the next generation through digital skills education: • CanCode supports initiatives that teach young Canadians (K-12) digital skills like coding, data analytics, and digital content development. • Digital Skills for Youth connects underemployed post-secondary graduates with small businesses and not-for-profit organizations where they can gain meaningful work experience and digital skills to help them kick-start their career. • The Computers for Schools Intern program provides youth with paid internships in refurbishment centres across Canada to build up their employability and digital skills. By supporting initiatives that teach digital skills to young Canadians, we are ensuring new generations have equal opportunity to participate in the digital economy. Dive deeper into each of these programs: • CanCode: https://lnkd.in/gkMZ73KP • Digital Skills for Youth: https://lnkd.in/gsZhEqsK • The Computers for Schools Intern program: https://lnkd.in/gwHEifuN
