April 25, 2023
Many young Canadians looking to secure meaningful work experience this summer know that getting a foot in the right door can serve as a valuable stepping stone to a successful career. Not only does it allow a young person to build work experience and develop new skills, but it also puts money in their pocket to cover expenses, save for the future, or fund further education.
Today, Viviane Lapointe, the Member of Parliament for Sudbury announced that more than 260 Canada Summer Jobs opportunities are now available for youth in Sudbury. Youth between the ages of 15 and 30 can now find new job opportunities in their communities on jobbank.gc.ca/youth and the Job Bank mobile app.
“Once again this year, the Canada Summer Jobs program is providing valuable work experience to youth here in Sudbury, and across the country. This important investment in our young people will allow them to develop the workplace skills and experience they need to thrive in the workforce and will support the future prosperity of our community,” – Viviane Lapointe, Member of Parliament for Sudbury.
By providing all young people with equitable opportunities to develop their skills, Canada Summer Jobs can help youth gain the skills, education and work experience they need to successfully transition into the workforce.
