EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING
RaY supports youth in reaching their goals. This includes supporting them in further education, training and employment. We also help them with all those little things that make a big difference such as navigating systems, getting the correct ID, doing taxes and much more. These supports help youth get jobs, access resources and thrive!
RaY's employment training program is called Level Up!
Applications are now open.
​
Level Up! is a paid pre-employment training program designed to help you achieve your employment goals.
Level Up! consists of a 6 week classroom training program followed by a 12 week work placement.
The classroom portion is designed to build your life skills and help you obtain certifications that will expand your knowledge and help you be successful in a work environment.
Once you complete the 6 weeks in the classroom, Level Up! Case Managers will work with you to help you find a suitable job placement in the community.
Your Level Up! Case Manager will provide ongoing supports to you throughout the entire 18 weeks to help you get the most out of the program.
