Exciting plans are underway for the 2010 PAYE initiative! In 2010, PAYE is expanding so that youth from disadvantaged communities across the whole city can participate. In addition, we will be running two recruitment initiatives - recruiting, supporting and preparing youth for interview events in April and October 2010.
This year, PAYE will also feature a large-scale learning forum prior to each of these interview events. These forums will provide opportunities for youth, employers and community agency staff to come together, network, and participate in a day-long, professional development event.
With high-profile employers and speakers present, these forums will generate a great deal of attention for PAYE in the employer community and across the city.
Employers, find the talented staff you need!
Youth, get a foot in the door!

Information Sessions to register youth for the April PAYE events took place in late February / early March.
PAYE staff will schedule Information Sessions in August / September to register youth for October's interview events. In the meantime, you can contact us to find out more about this initiative.
