Road To Work Program

About The Road to Work Program

The Road to Work Program is a partnership between YOUCAN Youth Services and ATS Traffic. The program will deliver workshops and industry focused trainings to successful candidates, aged 18-26 years old, giving them the tools needed to be employed in the traffic safety industry. The program will run over 2 consecutive weeks and is free of cost. The successful candidates will need to support themselves for the duration of the program.
