À propos du Conseil
Le conseil consultatif des jeunes servira véritablement de moyen d’engagement et de voix des jeunes à l'appui du mandat du CCRJ, qui consiste à piloter la coordination et à renforcer l'infrastructure qui appuie l'écosystème de perfectionnement de la main-d'œuvre des jeunes. Le CCRJ espère créer un Conseil Jeunesse qui représentera la diversité de la jeunesse partout au Canada, qui est passionnée par la cause de l'emploi des jeunes.
LET YOUR VOICE
BE HEARD
Conformément à l'engagement du CCRJ de faciliter l'intégration des jeunes sur le marché du travail et fondé sur les principes de défense des intérêts et de gouvernance des jeunes, le Conseil consultatif de la jeunesse a pour but de fournir au CCRJ un aperçu des divers facteurs et obstacles complexes auxquels les jeunes font face lorsqu'ils rejoignent la population active canadienne. Nos Conseillères et Conseillers Jeunesse agiront à titre d'Ambassadrices et d’Ambassadeurs Jeunesse pour le CCRJ dans leurs régions respectives de vos entreprises et des types de services que vous fournissez.
The Youth Council term runs for 10 months at a time and will start in August 2020.
Meeting Cadence
The members will be asked to dedicate 4-6 hours per month on council-related activities. The meeting touchpoints will consist of:
-
Advisory meetings (Council & CCYP) - In these meetings, the YC will be provided with updates on the work of CCYP, The Council and The Strategic Collaborators Group. They will be given opportunities to provide feedback and share insights. These insights will then be brought back to the respective groups. These meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of every month
-
Project meetings - These meetings will be focused on providing opportunity for YC members to work on the Capstone Project. These meetings will be held on the third Tuesday of each month
-
YC Training - The YC Training sessions will provide youth council members with personal and professional development opportunities. At the end of their term, youth council members will receive a certificate of achievement that outlines the various skills they have acquired throughout their time on the council. The YC Training will be held quarterly.
Members may also be required to travel within Canada for 2-3 in-person meetings a year... once it's safe to do so.
