Sixty students in Perth-Wellington will have access to summer jobs thanks to $169,000 from the Canada Summer Jobs Program, says local MP Gary Schellenberger.
Funded through the Ministry of Employment and Social Development, Canada Summer Jobs helps students gain skills and experience while earning money for the upcoming school year.
In 2015, the program is expected to create approximately 35,000 jobs, while helping employers address skills shortages, states a recent press release from Schellenberger’s office.
“Through Canada Summer Jobs, we are helping to equip young Canadians with the skills and experience they need to get jobs now and prepare for the workforce of tomorrow,” said Schellenberger.
“By creating jobs for youth in Perth-Wellington, Canada Summer Jobs helps students, employers and our local economy.”
