SEED Program
This research aims to build on a previous project with SRDC aimed at understanding how the Karma Project, a work-integrated social enterprise, supports the long-term employment and well-being of at-risk youth in North Simcoe County through its Social Enterprise Education (SEED) program. Specifically, this research seeks to further understand the youths’ training and employment journeys, their circumstances before and during their participation in SEED, and the role of SEED in shaping their future employment. Further, this research centres on youth engagement through a community-based, participatory approach that focuses on collaboration and mutual learning.
