Canada Summer Jobs Launch- 2010

January 29, 2010

In order to support meaningful work experiences for students and aid organizations that provide important community services, the Government of Canada announces the launch of Canada Summer Jobs 2010.
Applications will be available on February 1st, 2009 and must be submitted by February 26th, 2009.  Interested employers can apply at Service Canada, 48 Owen Street, Barrie or online at http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/epb/yi/yep/programs/scpp.shtml

“I strongly advocate for the Canada Summer Jobs Program. I urge local not-for-profit and public-sector employers to investigate this opportunity to help create summer jobs for young full-time students 15-30 years old.” - MP Patrick Brown

Proposals will be assessed using the following guidelines:

• Service to local communities;
• Jobs that support local priorities;
• Jobs that provide career-related experience or early work experience;
• A salary that contributes to the student’s income;
• An employer who provides supervision and mentoring;
• Project activities that are directed toward members of, and support the vitality of, an official language minority community; and
• An employer who intends to hire priority students (students with disabilities, Aboriginal students, and students who are members of visible minority groups).
• The assessment of applications will be carried out on a constituency-by-constituency basis, ensuring that local priorities are reflected in the assessment.
