In 2007 the Heritage Foundation for Terra Nova National Park sponsored the Youth Skills Link Program. This Service Canada program is designed to help youth in the area face their barriers to employment. Their placement at Terra Nova National Park during the 50th Anniversary Celebrations has helped them obtain and develop a broad range of skills and work experience they need to participate in the job market.
