TFO’s Ready for Tomorrow program helps youth improve employability


TORONTO — A new initiative called the Ready for Tomorrow program, launched last month by Ontario’s French-language broadcaster Groupe Média TFO, in partnership with RBC Future Launch, is designed to help French-speaking Canadians aged 15-20 prepare for the jobs of tomorrow.

The initiative includes a collection of Idéllo resources in French developed for young people to help expand their employment skills and build a strong foundation for the future, says the press release.

“Designed for young Francophones and Francophiles in Ontario and Canada, Ready for Tomorrow, the platform created by TFO and RBC, focuses on the development of employability skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration, all thanks to content produced by TFO that is recognized for its quality and safety,” said Carole Nkoa, chief marketing and communications officer at Groupe Média TFO, in the release.

“As new technologies continue to advance, the next generation of Canadians will need to be more adaptive, creative and collaborative, adding and refining skills to keep pace with a world of work undergoing profound change,” added Valerie Chort, vice-president of corporate citizenship at RBC. “That’s what RBC Future Launch is all about, and through our partnership with Groupe Média TFO, we will enable young people to identify, articulate and build their existing skills — while helping young Canadians develop new ones.”
