To ensure the training reflects the experiences, perspectives, and needs of young people, both youth and employment professionals are involved in its development through advisory working groups. The project follows a four-phase, iterative development process. Each phase includes content development, focus group consultations with both advisory groups, analysis of participant feedback, and revision of training materials. This collaborative approach ensures the course content stays relevant, engaging, and responsive to work realities and youth needs. The final outcome will be an online workplace readiness training course that equips New Brunswick youth with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to successfully enter and navigate the world of work.

To address these challenges, the project combines a literature review and environmental scan that identifies promising programs and practices and a survey of 500 school guidance counsellors across Canada that gathers insight on both barriers to engagement and best practices in working with opportunity youth. Together, these sources highlight obstacles to engagement and uncover practical strategies for supporting opportunity youth. The mission of the project is to find tangible ways to reach and engage this population, understand what practices and tools can motivate them to engage in career planning, and learn what further resources are needed to support career counselling practices.
