Project Learning Tree Canada (PLT Canada) continues to promote forest literacy to people of all ages and to help young Canadians grow their green career pathways.

 

We are extremely proud to have placed young adults (aged 15-30) in over 6,000 Green Jobs across the country since 2018, while continuing to achieve gender balance throughout. Quite notably, roughly 10% of our total job placements have gone to young adults facing two or more barriers to employment, and 15% of our placements have gone to over 900 Indigenous young adults from more than 100 Indigenous communities.

 

We have also delivered seven mentorship cohorts to over 500 participants and increased our number of educational offerings to help educators better engage with young adults of all ages. Results like these inspire us, motivate us, and make us more committed than ever to continue to build and improve on our successes.

 

Thank you to the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Skills Strategy for financial support that meaningfully impacts young Canadians, new Canadians and young adults facing barriers.
