People under 35 are the present and future of our communities.
At Impact ON, we ensure that they have every opportunity to succeed. This is achieved by creating tailor-made programs ranging from financial literacy to employability to the use of artificial intelligence. We are committed to ensuring social inclusion and the economic and civic responsibility of future generations, and to shape the sustainable world we want to see.
Find out on this page how we’re preparing our youth to give them every chance of success.
Since 1995, this program has offered hundreds of young people a valuable professional development opportunity every year. It enables young people to gain significant work experience, improve their language skills in both official languages and prepare for their future careers. This program is often a very first professional experience, and provides a solid foundation for one’s future career path. This springboard for experience-craving young people is deliberate, and the flexibility of the positions allows them to fit in with their study schedules and other commitments.
The program also covers travel costs for participants whose jobs are located more than 125 kms from their permanent residence, further expanding employment opportunities for youth. Finally, an allowance to support housing costs helps make these opportunities accessible to all.
In 2019 in Canada, the unemployment rate for young people aged 15 to 24 was 11.3%, compared to an overall unemployment rate of 5.7%.
In exclusive collaboration with Desjardins, we offer three financial literacy training programs covering a wide range of age groups.
For students in grades 4ᵉ to 6ᵉ, we offer La Caisse Scolaire, a fun, interactive experience aimed at teaching financial basics through games, quizzes and role-playing.
For grades 7ᵉ and 8ᵉ, My Finances 101 offers five modules dedicated to awareness and responsible financial management, covering topics such as the costs of living, payment methods, security and savings.
Finally, for students in grade 9ᵉ or even adults, Personal Finance, I’m in charge! is a bilingual program of seventeen modules, covering concrete topics such as budgeting, using credit wisely, preventing over-indebtedness and informed consumption.
Through these various programs, we are committed to providing comprehensive financial education services, at a time when financial literacy has become an indispensable competency.
Immerse yourself in the entrepreneurial adventure right now with our program designed especially for young people wishing to start their own business. We offer you in-depth training, covering essential topics in an accessible and stimulating way.

Je souhaite remettre en question le stéréotype selon lequel nous devrions tout recommencer à zéro, sans tenir compte de notre expérience professionnelle dans nos pays d’origine.
Partager une expérience, un vécu, une émotion permet de briser un tabou ou un non-dit, de lutter contre l’isolement des personnes qui le vivent, et de sensibiliser les autres sur cette réalité.
Nous avons tous un parcours de vie et des histoires palpitantes à raconter qui font découvrir des perspectives différentes d’une même situation, qui sensibilisent sur les discriminations invisibles ou encore qui ouvrent les yeux sur une réalité méconnue.
Je ne pense pas que mon parcours soit unique, ou du moins, je ne veux pas qu’il le soit.
Le témoignage que je veux partager, c’est que le processus d’immigration est difficile, notre cadre de vie, notre personne et nos pratiques changent. Il est donc important d’apprendre à se redécouvrir, à redéfinir nos objectifs, à se réaliser pleinement.
Je ne me suis pas intégrée dans ma communauté, je me suis épanouie.

C’est en écoutant le cheminement/ le parcours des autres que l’on se sent inspiré. Il y a de la place pour tout le monde.
