The Mazemaster® has been developed as a community-minded
project that operates within a partnership that has formed between the Toronto
Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) and Human Resources Development Canada
(HRDC).
The mission of the Mazemaster® is to
become:
'Canada's youth portal to career information, support
services and opportunities through an accessible Internet tool that understands
the uniqueness of youth.'
Mazemaster
... We're It !
The goal of the website is to: maintain
a high level of outreach to the community via presentations delivered to youth
(in school and at risk), school boards, community agencies, career fairs, conference
attendees and also through the distribution of our employment magazine, the Youth@bilities.
The information on the website has been
developed with a definite focus on the City of Toronto. Nevertheless, the far-reaching
nature of the internet has ensured that its appeal is not limited to any one group
or region.
The Mazemaster® provides access to up-to-date employment,
training and educational information. Youth will benefit from using the Mazemaster®
by getting answers to many of their career/job related questions in one location.
Any youth serving organization that has Internet access will have a tool that
youth can use independently, allowing them to research career/job and educational
possibilities. Companies can use the Mazemaster® to post jobs and promote careers
for youth within their industry, while advertising their services and products.
Youth want to be kept informed of training and employment
opportunities that will assist them to make better-informed decisions while gaining
entry into the workforce. The numbers show that Mazemaster® has been adopted by
the youth as a tool that is successfully helping them to achieve their goals.
