Applications are now open for the Canada Summer Jobs program. Funding opportunities are available to all not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and small businesses with 50 of fewer full-time staff. The application deadline is January 29th.
To help accommodate businesses during the pandemic, the CSJ program this year will be keeping the temporary expansions which were part of the 2020 version of the program:
These expansions are:
1) an increase to the wage subsidy, so that private and public sector employees can receive up to 75 per cent of the provincial minimum hourly wage for each employee;
2) an extension to the end date for employment to February 26, 2022; and
3) allowing employers to hire staff on a part-time basis.
Applicants must create job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years.
