I am pleased to inform employers that applications to assist in the hiring of summer students will be available December 19th, 2017 to February 2nd, 2018.
Congratulations to all the employers who received funding to hire a student this past year.
Once again, the Canada Summer Jobs program for 2018 is being announced earlier than previous years. Applicants need to keep in mind the February 2nd, 2018 deadline.
Late applications will not be accepted. This program is always over-subscribed. I encourage all employers to get their applications for funding submitted as soon as possible.
Employers who may have not been successful with their application in a previous year are encouraged to apply this year. Funding is not guaranteed from year to year.
