Canada Summer Jobs 2018: 209 available for students of Alfred-Pellan

Government of Canada funds work experience for local students

May 14, 2018 – Laval (Quebec) – Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)

Today, Angelo Iacono, Member of Parliament for Alfred-Pellan, on behalf of the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, announced that the hiring season for Canada Summer Jobs 2018 has begun and employers in Laval are now accepting applications. Here in Alfred-Pellan, that means that 209 jobs have been approved for funding for local students.

Since 2015, through the Canada Summer Jobs program, our government has doubled the number of jobs created for our youth, enabling 70 000 students to benefit from a meaningful, paid work experience. Once again, this summer tens of thousands of students across Canada aged 15 to 30 will get a great job opportunity—all while earning money to help pay for next year’s tuition.

This year, new employers from our riding are participating in the program for the first time, ensuring thousands of fresh new experiences for young Canadians. This year’s jobs fulfill five national priorities, designated by the Government of Canada, including:

Canada Summer Jobs 2018 hiring season is now open. I invite Alfred-Pellan’s youth to visit Canada.ca/Canada-Summer-Jobs in order to find employers in their community who are recruiting.
