Thank you so much.
One thing that we try to do with our youth as soon as they hit high school—because as soon as they're of working age, it's an opportunity to lose them from the path of STEM—is to work with our partners to try to bridge internships from as early as grade 10 so that youth don't have to work at a grocery store, for example, as opposed to being part of our STEM program in the summer.
I think there's a really big role to play for work-integrated learning, because these youth have to be paid in order to stay on the trajectory of STEM. As soon as they're of working age, we need to find ways to ensure that they can learn STEM while also being paid. Otherwise, we are going to lose them to entry-level jobs, and regardless of their interest in STEM, by the time they get to post-secondary, other influences will have pushed them out.
