Today's university, college and high school graduates are facing
significant hurdles in securing meaningful, career-related employment.
Graduates are facing a scarcity of entry-level positions accompanied
by a decrease in on-campus recruitment.
Currently, there are 600,000+
graduates in Canada who are unemployed or under-employed because
they can't find positions in their fields. The youth unemployment
rate stands at just over 12 percent -- almost double
the adult rate.
Even well-qualified young people
with strong academic credentials are having difficulty finding
the opportunities that will help them make the transition from
full-time education to full-time employment.
