Young Courage Award is a non-political recognition with the aim to highlight actions of moral courage. Originally introduced in 2015 by the Raoul Wallenberg Academy, the Young Courage Award is given to ‘young people between the ages of 13 and 20, who with small resources have made a great human difference and shown evidence of moral courage and commitment’.

The transition from postsecondary (PSE) to work is an exciting and important milestone that can also be challenging. In Ontario, the existing data infrastructure around PSE outcomes relies on provincial government key performance indicators and graduate surveys that measure students’ employment and graduate outcomes (Government of Ontario, 2024). Government and institutions, as well as students and their families, are interested in these high-level outcomes, but they do not tell the whole story when it comes to understanding the labour market outcomes of PSE grads. The gap between expectations and reality of post-graduation outcomes is significant for historically marginalized and equity deserving graduates.
