Wired 4 Success is a North Shore employment program funded through Service Canada designed specifically for youth ages 16 to 30 with barriers to employment.  Youth attend for 13 weeks and are paid a training allowance at minimum wage based on a 30-hour week.

The first 4 weeks consist of on-site training, followed by 9 weeks of work experience. The goal of the program is to get participants employed, return to school or a combination of the two. The objectives of the program are to help youth overcome barriers to employment and develop a broad range of skills and knowledge to access employment opportunities with private sector employers.

While attending the program youth learn many skills that assist them in gaining employment along with life skills related to employment and independence. Youth receive their Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), Food Safe and Basic First Aid certification along with some capacity to offer individual skills enhancement such as forklift operation, or other related certification needed as a condition of employment.

This program is well-suited for youth who lack work experience or employment skills and who face barriers to employment including but not limited to; mental health, disadvantaged background, or lack of education/training.
