Building pathways from skills to work.
Emole is developing an employer-connected pathway for underrepresented young adults that combines practical skills, mentorship, applied learning and pathways into employment.
From skills development to employment
Emole Futures Initiative is developing a workforce pathway that connects underrepresented young adults with practical, employer-informed skills, mentorship, applied projects and pathways into employment.
Building on Emole's experience in AI, STEM, business and leadership programming, the initiative is being designed with employers, training partners and community organizations for multi-region delivery beginning in 2027, subject to funding and partner confirmation.
A separate program for young adults
Workforce Pathways is separate from our programs for Grades 2–12. Our youth programs build toward later education, career and workforce opportunities; Workforce Pathways is designed for young adults who are entering or moving into the workforce.
Participant registration is not open yet. It will open once the program is approved and launched.
How the pathway works
Who it is for
Underrepresented young adults entering or transitioning into the workforce. The exact age range will be published once the program design is approved.
What participants learn
Sector-specific AI and digital capabilities, applied problem-solving, workplace readiness, responsible technology use and employer-informed skills.
How it connects to work
Employer projects, mentorship, work-integrated learning, onboarding, placements, interviews, hiring pathways and on-the-job learning, depending on confirmed partner commitments.
Delivery model
Multi-region delivery supported by a reusable curriculum, digital delivery where appropriate, local partners and a common measurement framework.
Sector tracks: the sectors offered will be published once they are confirmed through the final program design and with employer partners.
Help shape the talent pipeline your industry needs
Employers can participate through workforce-needs validation, curriculum input, mentors, applied projects, work-integrated learning, onboarding, hiring pathways and cash or in-kind support.
Outcomes we will measure
Workforce results will be reported separately from our Grades 2–12 programs, and only once delivery begins and the data is verified.
Completion
Participants starting and completing training or employment-support activities.
Employment pathways
Placement opportunities, interviews, onboarding and employer hiring commitments.
Employment after training
Participants employed following the program, including hires by participating employers.
Employer benefit
Employer feedback on recruitment, onboarding and workforce readiness.
Skills
Pre- and post-program skill measures tied to the selected sector.
Regional reach
Participants, employers and delivery partners in each region.
Built to last beyond one funding cycle
The pathway is being designed so that what is built stays useful to employers, partners and communities after any single grant ends.
Kingston base, planned multi-region delivery
Emole is based in Kingston, Ontario. Workforce Pathways is being designed for delivery in Kingston, Ottawa, Montreal and New Brunswick, starting in 2027.
