Pathways For Youth Employment (Previously knowns as YESS)
Building on the success of the first CBYF cohort in learning and advancing strategies together, Tamarack has collaborated with communities to create a new, more focused cohort. Starting in 2025, six communities – which include Yellowknife, Grande Prairie, Sudbury, Chatham-Kent, Moncton, and the Yukon Territory – have embarked on a journey together around understanding and addressing the issue of youth employment. For three years, these communities will respond to new and emerging systemic challenges within the youth employment sector through strategic, cross-sector partnerships, by using research and development approaches, and centring youth voice.
​
The goal for the communities is to develop and test innovative solutions to complex problems around youth employment, ensuring that they are scalable and sustainable. Tamarack will share these innovations across the membership and broader learning network to build organizational and sectoral capacity to improve outcomes for youth. Through the innovations, communities will help youth develop skills and gain the experience they need to successfully transition into the labour market. This will be done by supporting the needs of all youth – especially youth facing systemic barriers to success – to develop skills, knowledge, and networks through education, skills development, and meaningful work experience.
