Complex challenges need an

all hands on deck approach,

and collective impact is what

CivicAction does best.

As a premier civic engagement

organization in Canada, CivicAction

leverages nearly two decades of

experience and a network of over 10,000

stakeholders to take action on the most

pressing challenges facing the Greater

Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and

beyond.

CivicAction launched Escalator with an

action plan to address youth

unemployment through employer-led

actions.

We’ve worked on many projects to help close the gap. The suite of evidence-based,

results-oriented programs now includes:

free IT skills training program with paid internships

bridging to employment

career-oriented networking and mentoring

training on 21st century job-search and recruiting skills

for employment service providers, employers and

youth

free resources giving employers everything they need

to hit the gas on implementing proven best practices

when it comes to hiring youth

a digital learning environment for youth that includes

curated content focused on foundational and technical

skills needed to get their foot in the door
