Hundreds of thousands of Indigenous youth will enter Canada’s labour force within the next few years.
This influx will bring a lot of positives to employers, says Lynn White, CEO of Vancouver-based Aboriginal Community Career Employment Services Society (ACCESS) in talking with Canadian HR Reporter.
“It’s an advantage for an employer to hire Indigenous youth to work at their place because it’s a different perspective that [they] come with. There’s a lot to learn about Canada and our history, and giving an Indigenous person the opportunity to work in whatever organization [brings] an advantage to both the youth and to the employer.”
