CANADA SUMMER JOBS

Canada Summer Jobs is an initiative of the Summer Work Experience program. It provides funding for not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create high-quality summer job opportunities for students between the ages of 15 and 30.

Canada Summer Jobs is about:

-                     providing work experiences for students;

-                     supporting organizations, including those that provide important community services; and

-                     recognizing that local circumstances, community needs and priorities vary widely.

Canada Summer Jobs is focused on encouraging not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create jobs that not only meet their needs, but also benefit students looking to gain work experience.

Criteria to assess the proposals will focus on:

-                      service to local communities;

-                      jobs that support local priorities;

-                      jobs that provide career-related experience or early work experience;

-                      a salary that contributes to the student’s income;

-                      an employer who provides supervision and mentoring;

-                      project activities that are directed toward members of, and support the vitality of, an official language minority community; and

an employer who intends to hire priority students (students with disabilities, Aboriginal students, and students who are members of visible minority groups).

-                      http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/epb/yi/yep/programs/scpp.shtml

 

 

FOUNDATIONS

-                      Provide funding to registered charitable organizations, organizations operating under the authority of a Canadian municipality or to organizations raising funds for municipal projects where the municipality received money & issues receipts to donors in its own name.  Each foundation has set its own priorities and often you must contact them about your project and if it fits their criteria, they will send you an application form.
