RBC introduces Upskill, an online resource to help prepare Canadian youth for the jobs of tomorrow
TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - An RBC survey of more than 2,000 Canadians aged 15-24, has found that across every province and major city, youth are feeling hopeful, but nervous about their future employment prospects. To help young people turn that hope and nervousness into confidence, RBC Future Launch has created RBC UpskillTM, an online resource using the most current Canadian labour market data to help young people understand how their past experiences and current skills will help prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
"Overwhelmingly, Canadian youth are feeling anxious and unprepared about entering the workforce, but there's a silver lining – they also have underlying optimism and excitement for the future," said Valerie Chort, Vice President, Corporate Citizenship, RBC. "By launching RBC Upskill, we're offering a freely accessible tool that provides easy-to-understand, personalized information on career possibilities that will help young Canadians build confidence as they navigate their future career prospects."
RBC Upskill offers young Canadians:
"RBC Upskill is not only a useful tool for young people, but it's also a resource for parents who want to give advice but aren't sure what to say because today's job market is largely unrecognizable from when they were starting out," said Mark Beckles, Senior Director, Youth Strategy and Innovation, RBC. "If we can also equip parents with confident advice, perhaps we can relieve some of the nervousness youth are feeling."
Other key findings from the survey include:
