Employing the North's youth

Keeping our young people in the north.  That's the goal of the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund's co-op and internship programs.  Minister of Northern Development Michael Gravelle says employers find it beneficial to hire the region's youth.  The NOHFC provides money to businesses employing northern youth.  Over 300 Northern youth are getting on-site job experience through internship and co-op placements.
