The Question of Youth Summer Employment in a Pandemic
Video Upload Date: July 30, 2020
In this interview, reporter Minerva Navasca, facilitates a discussion with a group of youth about their Covid-19 related employment experiences, financial wellbeing and their concerns for health and safety.
Today, students call for transparency from their post secondary institutions. Why pay the same amount of money when they are no longer receiving the same education and experiences from past years? They are also asking for additional financial support, whether that be through new bursaries and scholarships, or a means to loan equipment and textbooks at a cheaper rate. These same students also ask for patience in the workplace - whether that be from their employers or from their customers. The uncertainties they carry are already heavy. However, acts of compassion, such as simply wearing a mask, greatly alleviates many of the day to day stresses that these students face.
