Easter Seals NL is currently accepting applications and referrals for our Horizons Work Experience Program participants. The next intake begins on April 17, 2023, and runs until March 22, 2024.

Horizons help youth overcome barriers to employment. Participants take part in four weeks of skills training and certifications, then one day a week of classes and workshops for the remainder of the program. They receive a stipend at the minimum wage rate for their time in skills training and classes.
