Get Ready for the Canada Summer Jobs Program: 2025
Posted onCalling all employers, mark your calendars! The annual Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program is set to launch its Call for Applications during this current week of November 18, 2024. This is an exciting opportunity to support youth employment in Canada. The application window will close on December 19, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time). Don’t miss out—apply early to secure your funding!
The CSJ program aims to create 70,000 quality jobs for youth during the summer of 2025. This year, we encourage not-for-profit employers to take advantage of a wage subsidy of up to 100% of the current provincial or territorial minimum hourly wage. For public and private sector employers, the subsidy can be up to 50%. This is a fantastic chance to provide meaningful work experience while receiving financial support.
Are You Ready to Make a Difference?
To be eligible, employers should be prepared to:
Provide quality work experience for youth.
Offer opportunities for youth to develop and enhance their skills.
Address national and local priorities to improve access to the labor market for youth facing unique barriers.
