Service Canada launches its Canada Summer Jobs Program for 2010.

Applications will be available from February 1st and will be accepted up to February 26th.

Canada Summer Jobs is federal government program that provides funding for not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create high-quality summer job opportunities for students ages of 15 to 30 who intend to return to their studies in the next school year.

Staff at Service Canada will assess each application based on the eligibility requirements and assessment criteria, including local priorities and a rating scale. To give your application a good shot at success, it is absolutely critical to address these criteria and all the priorities as much as possible in a manner that is clear, plain and provides concrete ideas and examples.

If you are planning to apply for Canada Summer Jobs funding, we encourage you to submit your information early. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Heather Overy, Executive Director of the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce, using the details below:
