YES2IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEMPLATE



YES 2 IT – or Youth Exploring Skills to Industry Training - is a joint initiative of the Industry Training Authority (ITA) and the Ministry of Education (MOE).

YES 2 IT is designed to increase awareness of trades amongst younger students, those in grades 6 to 9, as well as their parents, educators and communities. The program provides an opportunity for youth to have an engaging, hands-on experience applying some of the skills used in a variety of trade occupations while making connections with tradespersons in their communities. In addition, classroom learning activities support the hands-on experience and parental involvement increases education about career opportunities in the trades.

Funding and resources are available to schools, industry associations and other community organizations that successfully submit a proposal to hold a YES 2 IT activity in their community.
