Student Employment Program
|
The Student Employment Program (SEP), established in 1978, provides career-related work experience for students enrolled in post-secondary education. The programs administered by the Office of Economic Development are:
Co-operative Employment Program
The Co-operative Employment Program partners with Nova Scotia Universities and the Nova Scotia Community College system to create meaningful work experience for students enrolled in approved Co-operative employment programs . Eligible employers work closely with the coop coordinators at the institutions to develop position descriptions and jobs that assist the student in bettering their skills in their specific field of study. Eligible employers include not-for-profit organizations and government funded organizations which meet the specific criteria for the program. This program offers three work terms: Summer, Fall and Winter. *Students must be enrolled in Nova Scotia post-secondary institution Co-operative programs and require the position as a credit toward their degree in order to be eligible to apply and positions are posted at the educational institutions.
Student Career Skills Development Program
Student Career Skills Development Program (SCSDP) offers employers who have a not-for-profit status, as identified in the program mandate, the opportunity to create jobs to assist students in obtaining employment in their chosen fields of study. The positions must offer skill sets which the student has already studied and is perfecting with an eye for future full-time employment or positions designed to offer students experience in their field which they can take back into the learning environment at a higher level. This program runs from late May until the end of August. Students interested in these positions apply directly to the organizations who have received funding. Employers' are responsible for advertising and interviewing for the approved positions.
