A virtual learning session is being offered to help employers with their Canada Summer Jobs Program applications.
Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP Alex Ruff will host the session with Service Canada to help employers learn how to make a successful application.
Ruff says, “Many potential employers find navigating government applications and processes difficult. By offering an information session with Service Canada on the Canada Summer Jobs program, I hope that more employers will have the knowledge on how to apply with a successful well-written application. A program like this has the potential to create jobs and economic growth in the region as well as give young Canadians valuable work experience.”
The program provides wage subsidies to employers with 50 or fewer employees in the public and private sectors as well as not-for-profit organizations.
Funded employers are not restricted to hiring students. All youth aged 15 to 30 years may be eligible participants.
Ruff says the session is open to any interested potential employers, with a maximum of 30 people in the session and will be held on January 20th, at 3 p.m.
Details about the program including the application can be found online here: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/funding/canada-summer-jobs.html
The deadline to apply is January 29, 2021.
