Youth Employment Strategy - Summer Work Experience

Summer Work Experience includes:

  • Canada Summer Jobs, a new initiative that provides wage subsidies to help Canadian employers - not-for-profit organizations, public sector and smaller private sector employers (50 or fewer employees) - create career-related summer jobs for students between the ages of 15 to 30 at the start of employment
  • Service Canada Centres for Youth (SCCY), which help students with their summer employment needs

The Canada Summer Jobs initiative is specifically designed to assist students experiencing difficulty finding summer jobs as a result of where they live and/or the barriers.
