Government of Canada helps students find summer employment
June 03, 2009
 GODERICH, ONTARIO, June 3, 2009—Ben Lobb, Member of Parliament for Huron-Bruce, today congratulated the organizations and students across the riding that will benefit from this year’s federal Canada Summer Jobs program. Approximately 85 organizations in the constituency will be able to create about 113 summer job opportunities for students, thanks to an investment of $255,000 by the Government of Canada. “I am very pleased that students in our community will be able to benefit from quality summer job opportunities right here in Huron-Bruce,” said Lobb. “These projects, while providing students with work experience, will also benefit local organizations and small businesses.” Canada Summer Jobs is a Government of Canada initiative that supports work experiences for students while also helping organizations that provide important community services. It encourages not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create jobs that not only meet their needs, but also benefit students looking to gain work experience. “In light of the current economy, it is more important than ever that we help our students,” added Lobb. “This means creating more jobs that prepare them for the workforce through experience and learning opportunities across the country.” Canada’s Economic Action Plan contains increased funding of $20 million for Canada Summer Jobs to help Canadian students acquire skills and work experience. With the additional funding, the Government of Canada will now make $107.5 million available annually through Canada Summer Jobs for the next two years. About 300 Service Canada Centres for Youth are also helping both students and employers. Located in communities across Canada, these centres are generally open to the public from May to August. They provide a variety of services, free of charge, to help employers advertising summer work opportunities and youth looking and applying for jobs in their communities.
