On Friday, applications for the Canadian Emergency Student Benefit will open.
This program will help thousands of post-secondary students in Windsor-Tecumseh continue their studies @UWindsor@StClairCollege
@LaryssaSmith1 @ccyp_ccpj This is where private co's and large scale employers have the capability and resources to support. Look to champions like #RBCFuturelaunch and @IBM for positive examples. #youthemployment
@LaryssaSmith1@first_work @ccyp_ccpj We know students who have been waiting 7 weeks to get laptops from school boards to participate in online learning. I know there have been talks about provincial & national technology strategies but they were always seen as a nice to have. Now they are crucial

@LaryssaSmith1 @ccyp_ccpj @first_work @JobGymYJC @C_Warkentin@SueCardamone By helping them with their immediate needs now, they will be in a place to resume their job search and know that we were there to support them.
@LaryssaSmith1 @ccyp_ccpj @first_work @JobGymYJC @C_Warkentin@SueCardamone We have to reach out to them. They arent just going to come to us. Making phone calls and sending texts to youth who have accessed our services in the past to help them at this point and time with counseling referrals and food security issues. That's what they need right now.
@ccyp_ccpj @Rohan_R_Mehta@first_work Access is definitely an issue. Even with those who do have the technology and internet access. With everyone home, families are sharing devices and competing for bandwidth to do their schooling, working & job searching. #amplify2020
@first_work @ccyp_ccpj Many youth are faced with a lot of uncertainty as they look at the months ahead. Many rely on summer jobs to pay for schooling. Plus they don't even know if school will be back in the fall. #impactcovid
So just opened a box of @sobeys sensations coconut shrimp from my local Freshco which is supposed to have 14 pieces. I'm splitting this with my wife, who gets one less piece? #dilemma
When I 1st heard of the passing of hefty lefty, I thought that @seanpbali must be crushed. So i looked him up and saw hes been back on @1130WDFN for a while. Guess where I'm tuning in tomorrow & everyday from now on?
Today spotify told me I listen to different music than 91% of users and that it's cool to be different. Man @Spotify where were you when I was in high school wearing vests and hanging out with a guy with two toned hair? Not sure any of that was cool. @TrevorBotting
