Hire a Student
This summer consider hiring a student. You can tap into a source of motivated, talented and energetic young people who are ready and willing to work, while at the same time; provide your business with extra help to get the job done.
The Provincial Government is investing in student employment in Northern Ontario through the Summer Jobs Service program delivered by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. The Summer Jobs Service can help you by providing a $2.00 subsidy per hour incentive to hire young people.
You can receive funding of up to a maximum of 560 hours per position, for example, 35 hours per week for 16 weeks at $2.00 per hour.

Students must be between the ages of 15 and 30 upon commencement of employment.
