Congratulations! You’ve received notice that you have been granted Canada Summer Jobs funding to hire a summer student.
Finding a talented young person with the skills you need for this season isn’t always an easy task, especially on short notice. It’s one thing to post your student job on your own website, but that may not guarantee that the right students will find your posting.

By accessing our free services, we can amplify your job posting and help you find a student quickly!
TalentED YYC can help you:

experience amazing.
