🌟 Turning Research Into Action: DEVlab Report Part II

Youth unemployment in Canada is at a 25-year high—a clear call that systemic change takes all of us working together.

In partnership with Youthful Cities and community leaders across the country, Tamarack is proud to support Building Bridges: Connecting Youth Skills to the Future of Work. This youth-driven report shares 10 bold, youth-designed pathways—from digital literacy and green economy skills to mentorship, climate resilience, and affordable housing—co-created with young people in 7 cities.

These solutions show what’s possible when we listen to youth voices and act on their ideas to build more equitable, sustainable communities.
