To create more opportunities, not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and private employers with up to 50 employees can now apply for funding through the Canada Summer Jobs Program (CSJ) 2019.
“Canada’s prosperity increasingly depends on young Canadians getting the education and experience they’ll need to start their careers,” said Provencher Member of Parliament Ted Falk. “Summer jobs are a great way for youth to build their resumes and the CSJ program also helps organizations fill labour gaps, especially during the busy summer months.”
All positions will be posted on jobbank.gc.ca and on the app, to get the word out and help match young people with employers and good quality jobs.
Not-for-profit employers can receive 100 percent of the provincial or territorial minimum hourly wage. Public-sector employers and private sector employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees across Canada can receive 50 percent of the provincial or territorial minimum hourly wage.
Applications by employers for Canada Summer Jobs are being accepted as of December 17, 2018 until January 25, 2019.
Employers can now open an account on the government Access Grants and Contributions Online Services portal, allowing them to take their time with the application, track it once it has been submitted and get quicker feedback from Service Canada.
For more information and to apply, please visit canada.ca or a local Service Canada Centre.
