What skills will the participant develop during this job? 

Adaptability - The ability to achieve or adjust goals and behaviours when expected or unexpected change occurs, by planning, staying focused, persisting, and overcoming setbacks. For example, one uses this skill to change work plans to meet new deadlines, learn how to work with new tools and improve skills through feedback. 

Collaboration - The ability to contribute and support others to achieve a common goal. For example, at work we use this skill to provide meaningful support to team members while completing a project. 

Communication - The ability to receive, understand, consider, and share information and ideas through speaking, listening, and interacting with others. For example, we use this skill to listen to instructions, serve customers and discuss ideas.

Creativity and Innovation - The ability to imagine, develop, express, encourage, and apply ideas in ways that are novel, unexpected, or challenge existing methods and norms. For example, we use this skill to discover better ways of doing things, develop new products, and deliver services in a new way.

Digital Skills - The ability to use digital technology and tools to find, manage, apply, create, and share information and content. For example,  we use this skill to create spreadsheets, safely use social media, and securely make online purchases. 

Numeracy - The ability to find, understand, use, and report mathematical information presented through words, numbers, symbols, and graphics. For example, we use this skill to perform calculations, manage budgets, analyze, and model data and make estimations. Problem-solving - The ability to identify, analyze, propose solutions, and make decisions. Problem solving helps you to address issues, monitor success, and learn from the experience. For example, we use this skill to make hiring decisions, select courses of action and troubleshoot technical failures. 

Technical skills - The ability to develop capabilities that relate to the practical or mechanical side of an activity, the application of a set of technical processes and its required know-how. 

 

Which youth participants are eligible? 

To be eligible, youth must: 

• be between 15 and 30 years of age at the beginning of the employment period 

• be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for the duration of the employment, and 

• have a valid Social Insurance Number at the start of employment and be legally entitled to work in Canada in accordance with relevant provincial or territorial legislation and regulations 

*** Note: International students are not eligible participants. As the objective of the CSJ program is to support youth entering the Canadian labour market, the temporary nature of an international student's time in Canada does not allow for a long-term connection to the labour market.*** 

International students include anyone who is temporarily in Canada for studies and who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person who has been granted refugee status in Canada. Youth awaiting a refugee status ruling, as well as those who hold a temporary visitor visa, youth visa or work visa are ineligible.

Location: These positions may be partially remote in nature (some daytime, weekend and evening work may be required off-site, during Camps, Championship events and other functions). This project may operate at the Athletics Ontario office at 3701 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M1N 2G2, or at events, communities and schools within the Greater Toronto Area. A reliable laptop and reliable internet access will be necessary to carry out tasks for this position.
