About

Businesses Engaging and Encouraging Teens (BEET) is a 5-part program spearheaded by Let's Get Together that aims to help build networks and strengthen relationships between local youth and businesses with a goal to assist youth in securing meaningful employment within their community. This is a student-led, student-centered initiative created by Let's Get Together with the support of the University of Toronto Mississauga Centre for Student Engagement.

The BEET program will teach youth important work ethics, how to balance their responsibilities while respectfully navigate themselves in a workplace. We strive to provide each youth one-on-one connections through small group trainings and hands-on work related experience while connecting them to a network of local employment agencies that can provide additional support. Supports include financial employment incentives, job readiness resources and a youth-specific website that lists local volunteer and employment opportunities.
