The Student Summer Works program runs between May 1 and August 31.
Employers fund the reminder of the student wage.
Students should market your knowledge and abilities to potential employers in your area of career interest, and encourage the employers to create a new student summer job. Upon approval, employers use a variety of methods to locate and hire students. SSW employers are encouraged ask the regional Host Agency about posting jobs at the Youth Options BC web site. Employers are also able to post jobs at the Human Resource Centres of Canada for Students. Here are some resources for you in job search skills, including writing a resume, networking and preparing for an interview.
