Please be advised that the Government of Canada is once again sponsoring the Canada Summer Jobs program designed to help employers create summer job opportunities for students. Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses to create summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in Fall 2018.

Public and private-sector employers are eligible for a wage subsidy of up to 50% of the provincial/territorial adult minimum hourly wage – in PEI the minimum hourly wage will be $11.55. For additional information and application information for this program please click here.

To apply for this Program you will need to contact Monique Geurts, Human Resources, mgeurts@upei.ca or 566-0515. The closing date for applications is January 31, 2018.
