在加拿大找第一份工作，對很多青年來說已經不容易；對新移民青年而言，這條路可能更複雜。語言、文化差異、缺乏本地工作經驗、不了解職場潛規則，再加上經濟不穩定和入門職位競爭激烈，都可能令他們在求職過程中感到迷惘。
Finding a first job in Canada is already difficult for many young people. For newcomer youth, the path can be even more complicated. Language barriers, cultural differences, limited Canadian work experience, unfamiliar workplace norms, economic uncertainty, and intense competition for entry-level jobs can all leave young job seekers feeling lost.

Language barriers, cultural differences, limited Canadian work experience, unfamiliar workplace norms, economic uncertainty, and intense competition for entry-level jobs can all leave young job seekers feeling lost.
卡加利天主教移民中心 (Calgary Catholic Immigration Society，簡稱 CCIS) 希望透過 Youth Employment Summit，簡稱 YES，將青年求職由單純「交履歷」變成一個有準備、有配對、有支援的過程。
The Calgary Catholic Immigration Society, or CCIS, hopes its Youth Employment Summit, known as YES, can turn the job search process from simply submitting a resume into a journey of preparation, matching, and support.

商業、就業和培訓服務總監 Hasmik Armaryan 接受加拿大中文電台訪問時表示，YES 的構思始於 2025年，目標是強化青年就業成果。Armaryan 指出，CCIS 自 2009 年起已經提供青年就業服務，服務對象包括難民青年、高中畢業青年、具專業背景的新移民青年等。不過，團隊認為在既有服務之外，仍可創造一個更具互動性的活動，既連接原有就業支援，也為青年和僱主之間創造更直接、更有質素的互動。
Hasmik Armaryan, Director of Business, Employment and Training Services, told Fairchild Radio that YES began in 2025 with the goal of strengthening youth employment outcomes. She said CCIS has been offering youth employment services since 2009, supporting refugee youth, high school graduates, and newcomer youth with professional backgrounds. However, the team felt there was room to create a more interactive initiative that could build on existing employment services while creating stronger, higher-quality connections between youth and employers.

Armaryan 形容，團隊希望這是一個「more than just hiring event」的平台。活動設計包括分組講座、社區領袖分享、求職技巧、面試準備、心理健康、專上教育機會、加拿大職場文化，以及如何掌握職場中未必明說的規則。去年的活動更邀請前加式足球員 John Cornish 分享如何把體育中的韌性，轉化為求職過程中的堅持。
Armaryan described YES as “more than just a hiring event.” The summit includes breakout sessions, messages from community leaders, job search skills, interview preparation, mental health support, post-secondary opportunities, Canadian workplace culture, and guidance on the unspoken rules of the workplace. Last year’s event also featured former Canadian football player John Cornish, who shared how resilience in sports can translate into persistence during the job search.

Last year’s event also featured former Canadian football player John Cornish, who shared how resilience in sports can translate into persistence during the job search.
更重要的是，YES 的重點並不只在活動當日，而是在活動前已經開始。CCIS 建立一個網上平台，讓參加青年事前完成準備，包括觀看求職影片、撰寫及上載履歷和求職信、準備 30 秒自我介紹，以及了解出席僱主背景。這樣一來，青年到場時不再只是帶着履歷「碰碰運氣」，而是知道自己要見誰、如何介紹自己、怎樣表達技能和價值。
More importantly, YES does not begin on the day of the event. CCIS created an online platform where youth can prepare in advance by watching job search videos, writing and uploading resumes and cover letters, preparing a 30-second introduction, and learning about the employers who will attend. As a result, youth arrive not simply hoping for a chance, but knowing who they are meeting, how to introduce themselves, and how to communicate their skills and value.

Armaryan 特別提到，很多求職活動中，青年與僱主見面後，最後只得到一句「請到網上申請」。YES 希望改變這種低效模式。
Armaryan noted that at many job fairs, young people meet employers only to be told to apply online. YES aims to change that inefficient pattern.

透過事前準備，青年可以更有信心展示自己；僱主亦可提前看到參加者的履歷和影片，從而更有效地作出配對。
Through advance preparation, youth can present themselves with greater confidence, while employers can review resumes and introductory videos ahead of time, creating more effective matches.

去年活動有 272 名青年登記及出席，超過 20 名僱主參與，並有 15 個社區及專上教育夥伴出席。活動當日更錄得 56 個即場聘用機會，之後亦有持續跟進及招聘成果。Armaryan 表示，今年 YES 進一步擴大規模，吸引了 341 名青年登記，並在網上平台以外增加實體及網上職前工作坊，協助青年在活動前作更充足準備。今年亦有 18 個社區及專上教育夥伴、28 名僱主參與。她說，CCIS 已取得今年及 2027 年的持續資助，並會根據青年、僱主及社區夥伴的回饋，繼續改進活動。
Last year, 272 youth registered and attended, with more than 20 employers and 15 community and post-secondary partners taking part. The event resulted in 56 on-the-spot hiring opportunities, followed by continued recruitment and follow-up outcomes. Armaryan said this year’s YES expanded further, attracting 341 registered youth and adding both in-person and online preparation workshops. This year, 18 community and post-secondary partners and 28 employers participated. She added that CCIS has secured continued funding for this year and 2027, and will keep improving the summit based on feedback from youth, employers, and community partners.

Armaryan 補充，現代社會不單是講求技巧問題，而是青年、新移民、僱主如何連結的問題。她指出，現今年青人面對的困難是多方面的：有人不知道從何開始，有人缺乏自信，有人面對技能與市場需求不完全匹配，也有人受經濟不確定、關稅、企業招聘凍結和入門職位競爭影響。對新移民青年而言，這些困難再加上陌生制度和文化轉換，壓力更大。
Armaryan added that today’s challenge is not only about skills, but about how youth, newcomers, and employers connect. She said young people face many barriers: some do not know where to start, some lack confidence, some face gaps between their skills and labour market needs, while others are affected by economic uncertainty, tariffs, hiring freezes, and competition for entry-level jobs. For newcomer youth, these challenges are intensified by unfamiliar systems and cultural transition.

她分享，自己曾是國際學生，明白在新國家、新文化、新制度中生活時，會不斷問自己：「我是否適合這裏？我是否足夠好？」這種內心聲音，很多新移民青年都經歷過。她指出，青年尤其是剛畢業的新移民、國際學生和臨時外勞，往往集中競爭入門職位，令就業市場更加擠擁。與此同時，僱主也需要更理解新移民青年能帶到職場的價值。
She shared that she was once an international student herself, and understands what it feels like to live in a new country, a new culture, and a new system while constantly asking, “Am I the right fit? Am I good enough?” Many newcomer youth experience that same inner voice. She said youth, especially recent newcomer graduates, international students, and temporary foreign workers, often compete for the same entry-level jobs, making the labour market even more crowded. At the same time, employers need to better understand the value newcomer youth can bring to the workplace.

對青年，Armaryan 的訊息很直接：在求職路上，最後失去的應該是正面心態。
Armaryan’s message to youth is direct: in the job search journey, positivity should be the last thing to be lost.

她認為，真正值得擁有的機會，往往不會停留在舒適圈內。她在 YES 的歡迎致辭中提醒青年，機會不一定來自完美，而是來自感恩、努力，以及願意比別人多走一步。例如多留十分鐘、多問一條問題、當其他人沉默時主動發聲，這些細微行動都可能累積成改變。
She believes that meaningful opportunities rarely remain inside one’s comfort zone. In her welcoming remarks at YES, she reminded youth that opportunities do not necessarily come from perfection, but from gratitude, hard work, and the willingness to go one step further. Staying ten minutes longer, asking one more question, or speaking up when others remain silent can all become small actions that lead to change.

她亦以自身經歷鼓勵青年。當年她在荷蘭求學時，曾修讀一門與水相關的課程，但自己不懂游泳，同學卻已經有潛水或浮潛資格。她只能穿着救生衣坐在橋邊，但正是這種不安，迫使她學習游泳、學踏單車、學習在新制度中前進。她希望青年明白，恐懼不是終點，而是成長的起點。
She also encouraged youth through her own experience. While studying in the Netherlands, she once took a water-related course even though she did not know how to swim, while her classmates already had diving or snorkeling qualifications. She could only sit by the bridge wearing a life jacket, but that discomfort pushed her to learn how to swim, ride a bicycle, and navigate new systems. Her message is that fear is not the end point, but the beginning of growth.

Armaryan 指，BIPOC (黑人、原住民及有色人種群體)、新移民和不同文化背景人士可能面對偏見，但偏見並不只存在於某些人身上，每個人都應先問自己是否也有既定看法。她認為，真正的改變來自願意學習、接觸和理解他人文化。當人願意花時間了解對方，尊重和欣賞才會出現。
Armaryan said BIPOC communities, newcomers, and people from different cultural backgrounds may face bias, but bias does not exist only in certain people. Everyone should first ask whether they also hold assumptions. She believes real change begins with the willingness to learn, engage with, and understand other cultures. When people take time to understand one another, respect and appreciation can follow.

對政府、僱主、教育界和社區機構而言，她提出的關鍵字是跨界合作。未來勞動力整合，不能靠單一機構獨自完成。政府、僱主、移民服務機構、教育界和社區夥伴需要停止各自為政，透過更有意義的對話和規劃，幫助青年從今天開始成功。她總結說，未來強大經濟的基礎，在於有意義的夥伴關係。
For governments, employers, educators, and community organizations, her key message is cross-sector collaboration. Future workforce integration cannot be achieved by one organization alone. Governments, employers, settlement agencies, educators, and community partners need to move beyond silos and engage in more meaningful conversations and planning to help youth succeed starting today. She concluded that the foundation of a strong future economy lies in meaningful partnerships.
