The Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE) is challenging Gen Y to share their thoughts on youth employment in Canada. They’re looking for thought-provoking questions and innovative ideas that can spark meaningful conversation and leave an impression on Canadian decision makers.
Whether you’re worried about your career prospects, concerned with the economy or the changing job market, this is your opportunity to be heard.
The school-to-work transition is an exciting but daunting time in a young person's life: Canada’s youth unemployment rate is at 12.6% – nearly double the national average. The time for change has arrived.
The CCCE is planning a conference on Canada’s future labour and job market for young Canadians – by sharing your thoughts, hopes and concerns for the future, you’ll help to inspire the business leaders, educators and government officials in attendance to take action and start creating more opportunities for young people.
The CCCE is looking for honest insight on the state of youth employment in Canada.
To successfully complete this Challenge, you’ll need to create a submission that effectively communicates your take on one of the following topics:
This Challenge asks you to put your communication, presentation and critical thinking skills to work. You must submit a 30 second video as well as an engaging and thoughtful written statement that explains why this is the most important topic facing youth for the next 5, 10 and 25 years, or why this question is important to you.
The CCCE will be assessing your submission based on the following criteria:
In order to impress the judges, your submission should be thoughtful but concise – you’ll need to identify an issue, take a stand and articulate your ideas in a clear, compelling way. Your video submission should also represent who you are and where you come from – consider choosing the location of your video to reflect these aspects.
