Certainly. Thank you for the question.
Some students in post-secondary learning these days really are experiencing something outside of the traditional format of having school in the fall and winter and then being off in the summer break to work. Many institutions have academic semesters that start in January and continue into the summer, and then students might have a break in the fall, or they might have their break semester in the winter.
Recognizing that our youth and the youth who employers are attracted to could very well be available three semesters a year, the recommendation would be to explore whether that meets the needs of employers in industry and, if so, the students are available and seeking work. Therefore, the program could be evolved to have a rolling intake of three semesters long—the time frame in which employers are looking for students and students are looking for jobs—which would meet the youth mandate better.
