THE INCUBATOR

The Incubator is a training program funded by Toronto Employment and Social Services. It is focused on supporting youth 18-29 who are on Ontario Works or are OW dependents to help bring them closer to employment and training opportunities.

The program is a combination of technical skills training, career planning, opportunities and activities as well as practical on-site training experience in order to transition youth towards employment and/or further education upon completion. This training is fully aligned with City of Toronto’s Youth Equity Strategy.
