A new study by YouthfulCities and supported by RBC Future Launch created a new Urban Work Index; which creates a way for youth to explore the best cities for them to work. It uses an expansive, youth-driven definition for work that includes four thematic areas: Education (affordability, access, work-integrated learning experiences), Entrepreneurship (spirit, spaces, programming), Affordability (housing, utilities, transportation, food/clothing, leisure, health) and Employment (basic, career-oriented, city economic profile, programs).  Kelowna made the list at #14 coming in one place above Vancouver. Kelowna ranked as high as 4th in accessible education and 5th in summer jobs for youth. Kelowna does excel in entrepreneurship, landing on 7th place overall in that work theme.  Take a look at the overall report for more details.
