Campbell Pleased With Youth Employment Funding

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell is happy Premier Kathleen Wynne has announced details on a new youth employment program.
The province will provide up to $7,800 each eligible youth, starting in September.
It includes $6,800 to help employers cover wages and training as well as up to $1,000 to help youth pay for costs like tools and transportation to work.
Campbell says it was one of the NDP’s demands in the spring budget.
However Campbell says the NDP believes there’s more work that needs to be done to prepare youth for the workplace.
