Project Partners
Our Partners
At Reboot Plus, our impact is made possible thanks to the support and collaboration of a diverse network of partners: post-secondary institutions, business associations, school districts, and funders, all dedicated to empowering marginalized youth (17–24) to re-engage with education and career development.
The Reboot Plus project is funded by the Government of Canada through the Future Skills Centre, supporting the expansion and research of the Reboot Plus program model.
Program Leadership
The Reboot Plus program was developed and is co-managed by Douglas College and PEERs Employment and Education Resources. Currently Douglas College and PEERs are working with the national partners to test the portability of the program model in different jurisdictions across the country.
Douglas College
Douglas College is the largest degree-granting college in BC and combines the academic foundations of a university with the career-ready skills of a college. Reboot Plus is delivered from within the Training Group which is the contract training arm of Douglas College and is a leader in labour market transition programs.
PEERs Employment and Education Resources
PEERs is an incorporated consulting company that specializes in BC workforce development, employment programming, immigrant settlement, and community and strategic planning initiatives. PEERs works with Douglas College to co-manage and connect Reboot Plus youth to employers and professionals.
