Souris-Moose Mountain MP Ed Komarnicki is encouraging employers to apply for funding through the Canada Summer Jobs program to help create student jobs.
“Our government’s top priorities are job creation, economic growth and long-term prosperity,” said Ed Komarnicki. “Through Canada Summer Jobs, we are helping southeastern Saskatchewan’s employers create meaningful summer job opportunities for students, while strengthening our community’s economy.”
The Government of Canada continues to invest in youth to help them gain tangible skills and job experience while earning money for the next school year.
Funding will be available to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses. Young people between the ages of 15 and 30 years who are full-time students and intend to return to school in the following school year can qualify for these job opportunities.
Employers can apply online via the Service Canada website, or print an application from the site. They can also get an application by visiting any Service Canada Centre. Applications must be submitted between February 1 and February 28, 2013.
