Seneca Polytechnic, in collaboration with City of Toronto, Toronto Fire Services and Toronto Police Service, is hosting an initiative this summer aimed at supporting youth skill development and increasing awareness of careers in emergency services.
The Youth Community Academy (YCA) is a first-of-its-kind program that provides 40 Toronto high school students a two-month, paid experiential learning opportunity focused on firefighting and policing. Recruitment for the pilot took place in the spring through an outreach campaign at 16 high schools in Don Valley Village.
