Funding for Summer Jobs for Employers

Do you have an employer in mind that you’d like to work with this summer? Or maybe you have a connection in your community that you’d like to turn into a summer job. The Government of Canada provides funding to help employers create summer job opportunities for students. Employers will need to complete a full application to be considered for the funding but you can help by letting a potential employer know about this opportunity. Here is the link: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/epb/yi/yep/programs/scpp.shtml. SAVTI counsellors can talk with employers about this opportunity so be sure to get in touch if you need some help making this connection happen.
