The Ministry of Youth at Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) is excited to introduce the Youth Employment & Training Initiative (Y.E.T.I.), a virtual summer program that supports Métis youth in exploring career and post-secondary pathways, developing career readiness skills, and building confidence for their future.

While employment readiness is a key component, Y.E.T.I. is much more than a job search program.

It’s an interactive learning opportunity to support youth who want to:

• Explore their strengths, skills, values, and interests
• Learn about career and post-secondary pathways
• Build confidence and self-awareness
• Develop practical skills for career readiness, networking, interviews, and résumé building
• Connect with other Métis youth across British Columbia
• Participate in interactive workshops, coaching sessions, cultural learning opportunities, and guided career exploration activities
   

The program is particularly well-suited for students who are beginning to think about their future, preparing for post-secondary education, seeking part-time employment, or exploring potential career options.

Participants who successfully complete the program will also receive a stipend of $50 per day (up to $650 total) based on attendance and program completion.
