Looking to hire a summer student?

Each year, the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program helps employers create valuable summer job opportunities for full-time students aged 15 to 30 years old, while strengthening local economies and communities across Canada says an Anthony Rota news release.
 
CSJ provides funding for not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees. Not-for-profit employers can receive support for up to 100 per cent of the provincial minimum hourly wage as well as employment-related costs. Public-sector employers and small businesses can receive up to 50 per cent of the provincial minimum hourly wage.
 
"CSJ focuses on our local priorities," Says Rota."I am also encouraging employers to come forward with applications that support and complement a number of national priorities. 
 
"If you have hired a student in the past, you know how beneficial it can be for your organization. You also know first-hand how important it is for students to gain much-needed skills and experience and contribute to our community.
 
"I encourage you to take advantage of this great program. This year, applications are being accepted online from Dec. 19, 2017, until Feb. 2, 2018.
 
"If you would like to learn more, I invite you to attend one of two information sessions. A program representative will also be available to assist you in preparing your application."
