The Right Stuff

Categories:

The Right Stuff is a social enterprise that provides the collating and delivery service of the daily newspaper to the Greater Trail community. The work provides youth with paid employment experience in a supportive environment.
The Skills Centre provides the facility and the supervision for the Right Stuff program.

The youth also have access to an employment facilitator who helps them engage in goal setting, and provides assistance with gaining future employment opportunities.  If the youth are interested in obtaining additional training The Skills Centre will provide the opportunities to access courses such as:

  • Workplace safety
  • Forklift training
  • Occupational First Aid

By securing a contract for service delivery with the Trail Daily Times newspaper, The Right Stuff has been able to operate successfully since 2002 with no government funding. In addition to the six youth employees, the Right Stuff also provides employment to four delivery drivers on a contract basis.

For more information about the Skills Centre’s successful social enterprise, please contact Michele Cherot at (250) 368-5316 x214 or email mcherot[at]communityskillscentre.com.

Tip of the Day

Don’t ever expect anyone to 100 percent commit themselves to supporting a project, a direction or a practice unless they had input into creating it.
