FIND OUT MORE >> From CAP to YIP The Ontario Library Association has held the Ontario contract for the CAP and YIP programs since 1995 and during this time there have been significant changes. A bit of history: Industry Canada launched the Community Access Program in 1995 at a time when only 40 percent of Canadian households had a computer, and of these, only 10% had Internet Access. The program was put in place to ensure Canadians could participate in the digital economy by being connected and educated about digital access. Public libraries and other community agencies have been part of this program. In 2012 the CAP program ceased funding equipment but continued to support youth employment and the program was renamed as the Youth Internship Program. In 2015 Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) became the Federal Department responsible for this program. In 2016/17 the program has completely changed in purpose, scope and terms to now support digitally skilled youth versus digital training for the public. OLA has secured the contract to manage the 2016/17 YIP - Ontario. Please visit the website and select the "online application" link by Oct. 21 for more information and if your library is interested in applying.
