An employer must fill out an application for funding of a specific position and mail it to the Student Summer Works office. Students interested in working in a particular field can take an application to an employer and explain how Student Summer Works will help cover the cost of the position. And the benefit is to both the student and the employer. Students seeking employment in an existing position funded by SSW do not have to do anything different from applying for a regular job. However, to create a position with an employer they need an 'Employer Application Package' to be filled out by the employer.
Application packages are now available.
We are currently mailing packages out to those employers who participated in the program last year. If you are new to the Student Summer Works program and would like more information, please contact us at the telephone number or e-mail address listed above . Employers interested in further information should also look at the Student Summer Works provincial web site.
