We are so excited to announce that Foundry’s Work & Education Program is expanding – thanks to a $9 million provincial investment that is expanding the program to six more Foundry centres in addition to sustaining the program at 12 existing centres and through Foundry’s provincial virtual service.
The Foundry Work & Education Program supports young people ages 15 to 24 who are interested in working, going to school or completing a training program.
The free program provides interested youth with individualized supports and counselling to help explore their interests and develop the skills they need through various one-on-one interventions, workshops, post-secondary education or certification programs to achieve the education or career goals they want.
With this $9-million provincial investment, Foundry centres in Sea to Sky, Cariboo Chilcotin, East Kootenay, Surrey, Langley and Port Hardy are joining Foundry’s provincial virtual service and existing centres in Abbotsford, Campbell River, Kelowna, North Shore, Prince George, Vancouver-Granville, Victoria, Ridge Meadows, Penticton, Richmond, Terrace, and the Comox Valley to offer the program.
