Two Opportunities for Summer Student Funding

Canada Summer Jobs Program

The Canada Summer Jobs program is now accepting applications until Friday February 2/18.
 
Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) provides funding to help employers create summer job opportunities for students. It is designed to focus on local priorities, while helping both students and their communities

CSJ provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer full-time employees 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 the next school year.
