Access Subsidized Workforce Support This Summer – Canada Summer Jobs program Open for Applications

Applications Open Until January 25, 2022
Get Subsidized Workers to Help Your Business!

Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) is a long-standing Government of Canada program that strives to help youth (15–30 years of age) obtain summer work experience. This year, CSJ 2022 is targeting the creation of up to 100,000 full-time summer job opportunities for young people.  These jobs will be subsidized at 50% of the minimum wage for private and public sector businesses, and 100% of the minimum wage for not-for-profits, making it a helpful way of supporting youth while getting help in your business.

The program is open to not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers, and private sector employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees, and you can apply for funding now until January 25, 2022 to hire young Canadians. Full-time job placements will take place during the summer of 2022.
