Finding

a job is a job in itself. This is something Antonio Beckford, a youth employment support specialist, says he is not sure many young people today realize when looking for their first job. "A lot of youth today feel like they can just make a good résumé and not have any weight behind it," said Beckford. "There are a lot of other different tools that are necessary to finding a job like networking as well as cold-calling places. I think a lot of kids are naive... they think they could just drop off a résumé and not follow up." Beckford works at the Youth Job Action Centre in the Scarborough community of Malvern. The centre is dedicated to helping young people aged 14 - 30 access the necessary resources to find employment. Beckford said approximately 50 youth come through the centre every week ranging in both skills and abilities. "Some come in with little or no experience, where we kind of streamline them to volunteering somewhere where they can gain some kind of unpaid work experience," he said. "Then there are ones that have already had jobs, done the McDonald's thing, and they want to move on from that." Beckford said the centre arranged a job fair earlier this year with the goal of putting young people in contact with a variety of organizations willing to hire youth, including Canada's Wonderland, the Metro Zoo and Ontario Place. Many say they are pleased with the resources and help available through the centre. www.employmentnews.com www.employmentnews.com www.employmentnews.com www.employmentnews.com www.employmentnews.com www.employmentnews.com www.employmentnews.com www.employmentnews.com

FIRST JOB WOES

Teenage youth struggle to find employment without experience By Priya Ramanujam Kyle Wiltshire, 17, has been on the job hunt for about six months. Without any job experience and little knowledge of where to begin, he says it has been challenging. He recently stopped by the centre and asked for help. "They're helping with a résumé right now," he said. Wiltshire recognizes a résumé will not be enough though. He plans to volunteer at the Malvern Recreation Centre to gain the unpaid work experience Beckford encourages. However, some youth say more could be done in schools and the community to help young people get the boost they need into the job market. "We as youth don't have much experience. Schools should have programs that teach the youth how to do what is required of them in any particular area," says 16-year-old Alicia Banton. Felicia Ramcharan, 17, agrees: "Employers should be encouraged to at least take a small leap of faith in employing youth with small amounts of experience. "Even something as small as a school or a community organizing a sort of class on basic skills needed for the workplace," she said. "And maybe a person could be issued a certificate stating they have basic knowledge and such." Reprinted with permission, courtesy of www.SceneandHeard.ca. Are
