Objectif(s): Youth in the NWT are having difficulty making successful transitions. Some of the changes youth go through such as getting a job, completing college/university programs, moving away from home, and having children, are taking longer and can be difficult for people to manage. The Youth in Transition Survey (YITS) is a research project of a partnership of groups including Education, Culture & Employment and the Canadian Rural Partnership. This project will help to provide an understanding of 1) the transitions youth in the NWT face; 2) the difficulties that sometimes go along with transitions; 3) what helps transitions go smoothly; and 4) the programs, services and other resources youth need to successfully manage transitions. This research and recommendations may be used by the partners for a number of areas including the development of a framework for a logical system of programs and services targeted at youth and creating more effective youth programs and services. It may also assist in implementing information/marketing campaign targeting youth and parents/guardians and developing resources for youth that will promote effective transition making.
