Canada to invest in careers for Quebec youth

Funding to help create up to 4,000 new work placements for post-secondary students

The federal government is helping Quebec youth to get a good start on their careers.

Ottawa is investing up to $36.7 million through the Fédération des chambres du commerce du Québec to create work placements for post-secondary students.

“The uncertainty many young Canadians are facing today can be overwhelming, but the government of Canada is working to help them.
