Young Worker Awareness Program
School presentations
For several years, Ontario schools have been
welcoming persons from the community to deliver the
Young Worker Awareness Program (YWAP). YWAP
provides an excellent overview of the rights and
responsibilities of workers and also provides useful
information for students on work placements. Those
who deliver the program are committed to preventing
injuries among young workers. Bringing in a communit
y
representative to reinforce the lessons you’ve been
teaching for cooperative education safety is a grea
t
idea!
