A Strategy for Youth ... A Strategy for the Future

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is proud to introduce “Creating A Province of Choice: A Youth Retention and Attraction Strategy for Newfoundland and Labrador”. This Strategy marks the beginning of a bold, new partnership with the young people of this province and represents our shared commitment to ensure Newfoundland and Labrador fulfills its potential for a bright, prosperous future.

“Creating A Province of Choice: A Youth Retention and Attraction Strategy for Newfoundland and Labrador” outlines a fresh, modern approach to fully engage young people in working with us to address critical challenges facing the province, including net youth out-migration. The Strategy brings together a wide array of initiatives and policy directions that are firmly grounded in the values, priorities and ideas of youth. Collectively, these provide a critical framework that will help us achieve big results. The Strategy will guide us in working together to retain and attract the young, skilled workers and entrepreneurs our province needs to compete in the global market and the young families we need to sustain our communities. It lays the foundation for mentoring a new generation of young, bold leaders and partners that will help shape and secure the future of Newfoundland and Labrador.

“Creating A Province of Choice: A Youth Retention and Attraction Strategy for Newfoundland and Labrador” will help position the “youngest province” as the “coolest province”, or the province of choice for young people, and all people, to live and work for generations to come.
