Our Guiding Principals

 
Guiding Principals

To realize the YLF Vision, Mission and Value Proposition, we have made a commitment to act and achieve results based on certain principles.

These serve as the fundamental standards for all our strategic and operational choices.

•     Leadership: Canadian businesses and employees achieve and sustain top technical status in the global arena in which we compete.
•     Excellence: Mainstream education provides relevant, up-to-date technical education to the point where business does not need to provide substantial remedial or supplemental training, or import skilled workers.
•     Value: Choosing a career in technology is as favourably considered by students, parents, educators and governments as any other career path.
•      Accessibility: Barriers to life-long education are eliminated.
•     Opportunity: Young people are encouraged to enter apprenticeships, co-operative education programs and activities that foster better insight about technology and the inspiring opportunities available.
