The Outland Youth Employment Program was developed in 2000 to support economic opportunities for Indigenous youth in the Ontario forestry sector. Since then, OYEP has grown into a national network of award-winning training, education and employment opportunities for Indigenous youth. OYEP's growth and successes are made possible by consulting and partnering with public, private, Indigenous and educational organizations. These partnerships ensure OYEP is responding to regionally specific labour market and community needs while ensuring core program deliverables are being met.

Hand in hand with Industry


OYEP was developed in collaboration with the forest sector in 2000. Their continued investment in OYEP is a clear indication of the significant benefits to the sector. In recent years, OYEP has welcomed new partners in the Energy, Construction, Forestry, Mining and Tourism sectors. These new partnerships are a reflection of the emerging employment opportunities for Indigenous youth and the commitment to meaningful engagement and inclusion in the natural resources sector.

Partnerships with Impact


OYEP's success is a direct result of public, private, and Indigenous partnerships.

Generous contributions from industry allow OYEP to offer meaningful opportunities for Indigenous youth across Canada. Partnership opportunities are made available to socially responsible companies working alongside Indigenous nations. Together, we all play an active role in levelling the socio-economic playing field for Indigenous youth.

"My life would be so different if I didn't attend the OYEP. Before the program I was planning on going back to the reserve just to hang out. Now I've graduated high school and have planted over 250,000 trees! It's awesome!"
