**Position**:Program Coordinator
**Contract**: May 1/23 - September 15/23

**The Program**

The Career Rising program is an exciting opportunity offered to youth age 15 - 19 years living in several rural communities across Nova Scotia.

During July and August, this skills development program provides two weeks of training and orientation for youth to gain employability skills in preparation for their six-week work experience with local employers.
