SUMMER JOBS SERVICE HELPS STUDENTS FIND JOBS McGuinty Government Will Help Students in Ottawa
Ottawa has a range of summer job opportunities for students, through Ontario’s Summer Jobs Programs. These programs help working-age students gain jobs and experience so they can succeed and continue their studies.

Through the government’s Summer Jobs website, students can:
  •  Find job listings
  •  Get help to improve their marketing skills
  •  Learn how to start their own “Summer Company”
  •  Apply for summer jobs with the Ontario Government
  •  Find out about the $2-per-hour hiring incentive for employers.
The Summer Jobs Service offers students free self-marketing and job search services, and offers employers a $2-per-hour hiring incentive to encourage them to hire students. Summer Jobs Services are open to students aged 15 to 30 years who are planning to return to school this fall.

Students in Ottawa can access Ontario’s Summer Jobs Service at the St Lawrence College, la Cité Collégiale and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa.
