    About the ASCEND Program


    The ASCEND program connects employers with NEET youth (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) and provides meaningful work opportunities. Employers receive a 100% minimum wage subsidy for 19-21 weeks while offering supported employment. This program empowers youth through skill development and work experience, with employers also asked to provide feedback to improve future opportunities.

    For more details, please visit ASCEND Program Information.
