On Oct 11, 2022, Cohort 4 of the Skills 2 SucSEED program will begin. Skills 2 SucSEED is a pre-employability program for youth in care aged 15-21. The program is 12 weeks of bi-weekly evening workshops that are completely online, and culminates in a 8 week subsidized work placement.The workshops focus on Digital Literacy, Wellness and Employment skills and youth are paid for their time. Skills 2 SucSEED prioritizes creating a fun, accessible environment for youth to learn valuable life and employment skills.
Youth will be provided laptops to use while in the program, and upon completion of all three phases, the laptop is theirs to keep. Youth also have access to the Blue Rabbit gamification platform, which allows them to engage in educational quests to earn real world incentives.
