It’s time to show the world who Black youth really are, and what they’re capable of. Because when Black youth thrive, Canada thrives.
Canada has a hiring bias problem. Young Black people face nearly double the national unemployment rate, despite high levels of education, skill and determination. But at the CEE Centre for Young Black Professionals, a Toronto non-profit providing free career skills training and supports to Black youth, we believe Black Youth Can. CEE’s programming specifically helps Black youth build careers in meaningful industries where Canada most needs talented professionals – from film and entertainment, to tech, finance, trades and hospitality.

To achieve this, we collaborate with Black youth, employers, and the broader community in various ways:

Career Training:

We offer career training programs in six labor market gaps, namely Technology, Entertainment, Social Services, Finance, Trades, and Hospitality. Our holistic, person-centered, and culturally relevant approaches aim to improve the careers, education, and empowerment of Black youth in Canada.
