Future Readiness & Innovation Program for Youth (Ages 15–29)

At Youth Career Coach (YCC), we know the world of work is changing rapidly. New technologies, industries, and ways of working are reshaping how young people prepare for their futures. Our Future Readiness & Innovation Program is designed for youth ages 15 to 29 in Surrey, Langley, and the Greater Vancouver area who want to stay ahead, gain confidence, and build the skills to thrive in tomorrow’s economy.

Whether you’re a high school student considering your next step, a college student exploring innovative careers, or a young adult ready to adapt to new opportunities, this program helps you prepare for what’s coming next.

Why Future Readiness Matters for Youth

The careers of tomorrow may not even exist today. Research shows that by 2030, a large percentage of jobs will require skills in technology, problem-solving, and innovation. Without guidance, youth risk being unprepared for these shifts.

Young people face key questions such as:

  • How will artificial intelligence affect my career options?
  • What industries are growing in British Columbia and Canada?
  • Should I pursue post-secondary education, skilled trades, or entrepreneurship?
  • How can I stay adaptable in a world that’s always changing?
