The Canadian Library Association is pleased to be a partner of the
Department of Canadian Heritage in the administration of the Young
Canada Works (YCW) program. This project is made possible by funding
provided through the Heritage Programs Directorate of the
Department.
As part of the Youth Employment Strategy, the program gives students
and recent graduates the opportunity to find employment in a sector that
promotes Canadian heritage and culture. The program benefits both
employers and students. Not only does it provide funds for projects, it
allows heritage institutions access to young and enthusiastic employees.
For the students it provides valuable experience, exposure to aspects of
Canada's heritage and much-needed funds to continue their education. CLA
administers two components of the YCW program:
YCW
in Heritage Organizations (YCW-HO)
YCW
at Building Careers in Heritage (YCW-BCH)
