The job market in Canada has changed dramatically in the last fifteen years. Improvements in technology allow business to do more with less labour and to demand higher education levels and more technical skills for entry-level jobs. Youth unemployment has remained high since the 1982 recession. Transition from school to work is one of the toughest challenges facing Canadian youth in the information age but On Their Own can help make the passage smooth and successful.
